The twins are here!

The twins arrived on Sunday 6th November. Three months early so they are very tiny. DD went into labour and had to be rushed down to theatre for an emergency c-section. You can imagine the confusion and the chaos but so far all is going well. Two darling little girls. Faith was born first at 17:16 and weighed just 2lb 1oz, then Grace at 17:18 weighing 2lb 8oz. Both are in special care and will be for quite some time and apart from being on ventilators to help them breath, have wires hooking them up to every kind of machine possible. They are so tiny you could fit them in the palm of your hand but they are absolutely beautiful and remind me of dd when she was born. DD is doing well too although she is finding it hard not having them with her and is still very tired and sore. Altough she wants to keep going dow to see them when she does I can see how scared and totally overwhelmed she is by all the equipment and everything going on around them. Although they warn you before hand that it will be a shock, it still is frightening to see it for yourself. Dad seems to have really come through too and has said that he feels it is time he grows up and accepts his responsiblities and his parents have been absolutely wonderful.

Will keep you all informed although obviously I'm not going to get much time to be on here and as soon as I can get the pics downloaded on here (need ds to do that, I haven't got a clue!) I will try to post a link to them so you can see them for yourselves.
