First Picture of Dylan and Emma

Here is the first picture of Dylan and Emma. Emma is in front with Dylan behind, slightly out of focus. The picture was taken on their first short journey from the Operating Theatre to the Neo-natal ICU. This is where they will be for the next while.

For those of you want to know the exact stats of their birth this morning:

Dylan was born at 8:30 and weighed 1.8 kg.

Emma was born at 8:32 and weighed 2.06 kg.

Both are doing well in the Neo-natal ICU. They are lying under what can only be described as sun beds to keep them warm. They don’t need an incubator. Dylan is receiving oxygen but should be off that by tomorrow. Emma is breathing all by herself. At 15:00 they will get their first feed. We will see how that goes.

Anina did very well. She is now recovering. She is in quite a bit of pain but is getting medication for this.

Regards,

Peter and Anina
