I have news! Jack Caillan made his foray into the world by CS on 30 November at 8.45 pm weighing 5 lb 3 oz, followed one minute later by his little sister Zara Belle, weighing 5 lb 1 oz. Both were born healthy and crying and within an hour were on the breast. Initially they went into the well baby nursery but by the morning were admitted into special care. Their blood sugar levels had dropped below 3 and they couldn't keep their temperature constant. They had to have a gastro tube inserted into their nose to feed. I expressed regularly and made sure they got my colostrum. They have improved from alternate tube feeds and express feeds to three breast/bottle/express feeds to one tube feed. We are running back and forth to special care twice a day and spending multiple hours at the hospital each time. They were just weighed a second time and Jack put on 100 grams and Zara lost 30g. But this is normal apparently to lose weight initially and even at the second weigh in. So they're healthy and making good progress but it's hard not having them home with us. Hopefully all going well we can take them home this Friday, but I suspect it may be a few more days than that. My milk supply is going well, but I'm not fussed any longer about formula or breast milk as all I want is for them to come home and I don't care if they have bottle feeds of formula as well as my milk in order to do so. Fingers crossed they keep gettting stronger and graduate quickly to feeding at each feed so the tube can be taken out and they can come home!
