How time flies. Well my Birthday, 26 May, was meant to be the Twins due date. But as it turned out they turned two weeks. At the last weighing Dylan now weighs 2.1 kg and Emma 2.3 kg. Feeding is progressing well. Dylan now gets two bottle feeds followed by one tube feed. Emma is taking her time to get used to bottle feeding. She gets one bottle feed for every two tube feeds and sometimes only manages half the bottle. We have at last learnt what the criteria are to be discharged from the high care unit. The baby needs to bottle feed for a complete 24 hours cycle. Then its time to get the car seats ready for the eagerly awaited trip home. At the moment it looks like Dylan is going to come home first before Emma. Anina has been going the Physio who is the lactation specialist. This has been very painful. Today has been her strongest day since the birth. She is also trying a new tonic suggested by a very friendly sister, Susan, who has been doing the night shift for our babies for the last few nights.
And of cause here are some more pictures:
