26th December 2007 - My Twin Sisters Have Arrived!

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Despite mum asking them to please not make their appearance yesterday, or today (boxing day sales is her favourite shopping day every year!), the twins have made their safe arrival this morning.

S T-J born 5:45am weighing in at 1600gms
C J-J born 5:53am weighing in at 1670gms
(sorry message i got had the wrong lbs & oz so i'm not putting it in!)

After a short four hour labour (waters broke 1:50am), born at 33+1wks gestation, they had a little difficulty breathing on arrival, but are now okay and in the safe care of the SCN at Melbourne Royal Women's Hospital.

Both Natural Delivery, but due to TTTS early in the pregnancy they had to adminsiter the epidural anyway, to ensure that if a c/s was needed that it was working!

Thought i should announce it as many of you do ask how my mum's pregnancy is going as well!
