I finally have 2 min to jump on and let you all know we are doing great!
Finally home we got discharged on Wed after 1 week 1 day in hospital - few issues with weight loss and jaundice with the boys and bp problems (i was quite ill for 48hrs) but all seems to be resolving.
The boys are really settled sleeping anf feeding really well - i'm expressing BM and giving it in a bottle with 1/4 formula as they are still to little to suck efficiently and i need to ensure they get their food as weight gain has been an issue.
Samuel my little boy has just hit 2kg he is so placid and loves skin to skin cuddles with his mummy. Jack my bigger boy is steadly gaining back his weight he needed to go under lights for 24hrs cause of jaundice but he is all good now. He also enjoys his cuddles he tried really hard today to have a breast feed but then got to tired.
They are feeding 3hrly which is getting very tiring so we are trying to get 4 hours out of them overnight but it's not working just yet! DH has been wonderful and it's truly a special time when we sit on the couch and feed together at 200am - i can't help but think about what we went through and how blessed we are.
I just love them both so much i can't put into words all the feelings and emotions - i will try to do a birth story and post some pictures when i can.
Take care everyone - sorry i don't have tim e to read through all the posts - but wanted to quickly say best of luck to Grub - glad DH is home and try to enjoys each others company as much as possible before the big day! and Smithy you poor thing i hope your feeling a bit better and are resting xxx
