Karen Rodger, 41, and husband Colin, 44,
from Langbank in Renfrewshire were "over
the moon" at the new arrivals to their
family on May 29 at the Southern General
Hospital in Glasgow.
The girls, who are not identical, were
delivered by caesarean section with Rowan
arriving first, and two minutes later Isla.
The couple already have four boys - 14-
year-olds Lewis and Kyle, and Finn and Jude
who are both 12 - and were told of the
unlikely odds that Mrs Rodger's third
pregnancy would be twins.
The happy mother says: "I just could not
believe it. It never crossed my mind that it
would be twins again, I just thought that
just doesn't happen to people like me, but
I'm absolutely delighted."
Mrs Rodger found out during a scan six
weeks into the pregnancy and sent a text
with the news to her husband.
"He thought I was joking and immediately
wrote back to say 'this is not funny'. I had to
explain that it really was true," she said.
"I still haven't really taken it on board
because I was convinced I was having two
boys."
The couple are looking to convert the loft
of their house into bedrooms for their
eldest twins so that the girls can have their
own room.
Mr Rodger described the arrival of the
twins as "life-changing" and said he was
looking forward to raising daughters.
"Boyfriends will be completely
unacceptable. I think the girls are going to
have five dads with the boys looking out for
them, too, and it will be a frightening
gauntlet for any boyfriend to run."
