I’ve gone from being a mother of 1 to being a mother of 3.
Inconceivable.
No words.
(Ok, well maybe a few)
On Monday the 30th of July two gorgeous and tiny baby girls were handed to me . (Yup, it’s that easy, you go to the baby shop, find two you like and 4 days later you go home, powder your nose, sell exclusive picture rights to Hello and People magazine, then whiz off to get a tattoo of their birth co-ordinates on your arm. Then a few short months later, you don an itsy bitsy teenie weenie white bikini and text the nanny nannies ‘Back in 2 days, how are the twins?’. EASY!)
The girls are at once pure magic and utterly terrifying.
If one new baby seriously dampens your social life, you can only imagine what two can do! I considered it a huge accomplishment that the twins, Layla, my husband and I managed to get down to our local GBK for lunch, then on to Gelato Mio for an ice cream which I ate while waiting in line at Boots to pay for some post natal vitamins.
For the next couple of months, I am going to be glued to the sofa, under the twins, watching the Food Network and not being able to reach the glass of water in front of me. (Although mid September, I do have a lunch reservation at the impossible-to-get-a-table-at-unless-you-are-the-food-critic-at-the-New-York-Times-restaurant: Dabbous. (Oh and it’s not that I am becoming a famous food blogger, rather, since I knew I was having twins, I booked that table 3 months ago as a “Hooray, you survived the birth of your twins – now you just have to make it through the first year” treat.
Wish me luck! (Truthfully, I am fortunate to have my mother and mother in law here. If there’s a heaven, these ladies have earned themselves a place up there!)
Meanwhile, I hope you all are having a wonderful summer, enjoying Berlin, London or wherever you are
Hello! My name is Suzy. This blog is about discovering Berlin through its eateries. I take it one restaurant or shop at a time and post on the blog once a week. I vary where I eat to have a have a mix of high and low end places. My goal is to find the special places, the ones worth seeking out and show and tell you all about them. 
Huge congratulations, that’s excellent news.
I always look forward to your blog updates arriving in my inbox.
Have a great time at dabbous!
What a nice thing to say, thank you Simon.
Congratulations! What wonderful news. It’s going to be hard at times, but it’s also going to be the most brilliant fun xx
Yes, it’s all pretty mad. Trying to see the humor in it : )
Awww!! Such beautiful babies! Congratulations! Enjoy every moment!
Congratulations on the birth of your two lovely little girls. How wonderful.
Congratulations from Berlin, Suzy! Yasmine and Zoe are gorgeous and I hope the whole family is doing well.
Thank you Sue! We will be back in Berlin early October.
Oh that first picture! I love the way babies’ hair is perennially a little damp.
They are so fuzzy compared to Layla. It’s cute.

Thank you!
Congratulations! The little ladies look adorable! Enjoy the babies and let others do the cooking!
I have been. Not sure I remember how to cook but in London there are plenty of places that do the cooking for you… And they accept all major credit cards.
Wowie! Congrats to you and your family….looking forward to seeing all the photos. You’re building a Girl Power force!
Mega girl power. We are thinking of getting Hrabi a male gold fish or two so he isn’t out numbered.
Congratulations!!! They are absolutely gorgeous. Layla must be in awe.
Congratulations! They are lovely!
Thank you Petra. I hope you are well!
Wow, how wonderful! I did just read your most recent post about Primrose cupcakes and thought: “Three children! I swear she only had one…”! Thrilled for you. Congratulations to you and your husband and Layla of course. A big sister to two more girls. I love the second picture where one looks like she may chomp on her sister’s nose. So cute.
Yup, I’m pretty sure Zoey will be the Foodie. Thanks!
What an amazing surprise when I came to your site looking for lunch options in Kreuzberg.
Congratulations! They are gorgeous and such beautiful names.
I have been wondering why you went to London!
They look like tiny little angels! Maybe I can get a cuddle once you’re back in Berlin. Congratulations to all of you, Berlin misses you! Lucy x
My little boy, our 3rd child as well, was born July 30th too! And we live in primrose hill and I am happy to have discovered your blog tonight in between two feeds… Best of luck with your twins and look forward to following you here and there on your blog
Wow! You consciously decided to have number 3? Incredible. We are stumbling our way through at the moment, but happy to be in pretty Belsize Park
Congrats! they look beautiful.

Thanks! Hoping to be back sometime in October.
