Woohoooooo! Welcome to the world little princesses. Congratulations TTL, I am so happy and proud of you. What a journey these bubbies have given you. Hope your stay in SC nursery is short - we had about 3 weeks for similar weights, and it is hard and horrible at times but they will be home with you in no time.

Welcome to the wonderful (and crazy) world of being a twin mumma xx

Thank you so much everyone for your gorgeous messages!

A quick update - the girls are doing amazingly well at 6 days old today they have been transferred to the lowest level of seriousness room in the SCN They are breathing on their own and have started bottle feeds today - alternating with tube feeds because they get tired.

They are ready to be transferred to our local private hospital - which is way quicker than I expected! I am still in hospital with them and on the flip side - my recovery from the c-section has taken longer than I expected, but I am happy to be able to walk to the nursery finally by myself - so I can go to the girls now whenever I want!

They are more identical with every day that passes and without being biased - they are cute as Unbelievably tiny, but perfectly formed and with full heads of hair and wide open blue eyes. I don't know what I expected - but we are blessed that everything has turned out so much better, than we were warned it could have.

A special thank you to my Belly Buddies and also all the ladies that have listened, answered my often silly questions, reassured me, supported me when reassurance wasn't possible and generally just been fantastic! Before I started LTTTC and then IVF I had no idea paces like BB existed - the best part of the whole process was finding BB and in the process a safe place to 'land'.

Finally - I would really like to post a pic of my Lily and Ruby here - can anyone help me with how to do this?

I'm not sure how to upload to BB directly. I use photobucket, then copy & paste the link they provide. I can never remember which one it is though, so I usually try several different ones before I get it right lol!

Hi All,

Well the time has come - after mother crafting for the last two nights in hospital - where they hand you the twins and leave you too it - tomorrow we will be going home!

Tuesday they will be four weeks old - so coming home at 37+6 gestation after being born at 33+6 gestation. Our pad has told us not to adjust their age because full term for identicals is 37.5.

Lily is now 2.35kg and Ruby 2.15kg - I'm scared to be taking them home, but also happy, scared all the normal emotions I guess. Most of all I fel sad i will never be pregnant again, this is it. I ended up with 4, more than the 3 I was expecting and I am soooooooo grateful - but I am sad as well.

I have good days and bad, some days I just need a good cry - others a good sleep

Hope everyone else is well.
