On November 21 me and Emma stayed overnight at the NICU in one of the flats that is available for parents of children in the unit, what a fun night!!!, first of all Shannon had a feed and then was sick all over the bed and myself, and then when we were eventually falling to sleep (at around 3am!), Chloe started to hiccup and then was sick all over her cot and face!, what an eye opener as to what we had in store!!
November 22, 1998 morning
We decided to leave the NICU early on the Sunday so that we could get last minute essentials for the homecoming tommorrow, and to catch up on the lost sleep the previous night!
November 23, 1998 - THE HOMECOMING!!!!
This was it, the moment we had been waiting for the past 3 weeks to get our babies home!. We arrived at the NICU in the morning and was told that we could take the babies home when the Doctor had seen them. The Doctor arrived at just gone 11 am and gave us the all clear at just after 11:30 am, it was now the time to dress the babies in our own clothes and put their first snow-suit on (a picture of this will be posted to the photos page soon!).
After what seemed like an eternity we had the babies ready to leave the NICU and after the twins had their last kisses off the nursing staff we set off to take the twins to their new home - OURS!
The first night we had the twins in our bedroom and this was our first mistake because of the noise of Chloe's breathing and the gargling noise that Shannon makes.

The last couple of months have flown by, the twins are both very settled in their new home, in fact this weekend we plan to try to start weaning them onto slight solids - which will be fun ?!?
This site will now be updated every day hopefully so keep watching to read more about the twins!
