Awww...they look nice and colourful for prems. Awesome!

They have to be a special care unit, being premature. She is not allowed out of bed because of the Caesarian. She's on a catheter for a start, which restricts her movement somewhat...

The hospital will get them together as soon as they can, but it's just not possible for the moment.

Ahhh. I see. That makes sense. Oh, poor lass. Must be so hard for her.

She's been fainting today.
They wheeled her down to see them but she only managed 20 minutes before passing out from the heat in the room. She's never been a hot person, but she is very flushed now says Mum, and has a fan on constantly. The nurses aren't worried, just monitoring her. They say it's her body's way of dealing with a serious operation.

Sadly, because she was unwell, Laura asked if Mum & Dad could go in to see her 15.00-16.00, so they're not going tonight. So I'm not either. Never mind, perhaps by the time I get to go in, the boys will be more accessible anyway - no-one from our side of the family has been able to see them yet.

They're out of incubators, which has to be a good sign of progress.

Happy belated Birthdays!

Good luck to Mom and Dad as well!!!

Abigail hasn't fainted today and the boys are up on the ward with her.
She had to (observe) the first nappy change today. A squelchy one as it leaked out of the nappy, up into and out of the sleepsuit... and all over my arm.

Thanks Jack, the first time we are introduced you get me smeared in greeny-black poo!

Abs was mortified, no matter how much I assured her it was not her fault, I didn't mind and after all I'd better get used to it.

Anyway, had a quick cuddle with both, til we were ushered out by a martinet who insisted on the two-people-per-bed rule. Okay okay, we had four so it was a bit cheeky. The saddest part was when Samuel was told he could come onto the ward to say hello but would then have to leave immediately and would not be allowed to return - he's 14. No-one under 16 is allowed unless they are the child of the patient. The Nurse did apologise (given the tears in his eyes it was hard not to) but explained that if the rules were broken by one family they would have to start making exceptions for them all. True I suppose, but hard on Sams.

His quirky grin to the side looks cute, but in fact it was because Mum had just started berating him for having a stupid smile on his face.

so beautiful! so wonderful!

Thanks. The babies are cute too.

Geez, and to think they're predicting my one to weigh as much as those two put together! lol

Lovely pics! :)

Fantabulous! You all look wonderful!

Jack and Liam back in cot - they are going home this afternoon.
Hope the outside is not too much of a shock to tiny minds.
Bright! Cold! Noisy!

Stephen looks just like your dad in that shot, Sundae. The babies look like they've gained a lot of health in the last week. Good luck to everyone!

Cute!!!
