Post piccies of your multiples

They are so cute Chetnaz!

Here are my 2 now that Hannah is finally home from the hospital (after a very long 8 weeks!)

Thanks Raquel, how cute are your two! Hope you dont mind me asking, why was Hannah kept in for 8 weeks? I'm sure you've said before, but i'm not sure if i read it. were they premature? Bles her, she looks so delicate, bet you're so happy to have her home at last.

We always new there would be problems with Hannah - she had very low amniotic fluid and IUGR detected at the 20 week scan and we were told then that she would likely die in the womb and if she didn't that her lungs would be so underdeveloped that she wouldn't survive - what little fluid she did have then became even less when my waters broke around her at 27 weeks. After 2 long hospital stays, twice weekly scans and daily CTGs I had a planned c-section at 34 weeks (they didn't want me to go further due to the infection risk of the long term broken waters). Hannah came out screaming (best sound EVER!) but quickly needed to be intubated and has had trouble with her breathing ever since, so she's still needing oxygen at home but has done absolutely tremendously. She also has a cleft palate so still needs to be fed via NG tube but is starting to take a small amount via the bottle.

She proved EVERYONE wrong basically!

Aww hun you must have been under so much stress and worry! No wonder you said you felt lucky to have them. Little Hannah sounds like a fighter, so glad all went well in the end. x

Hear are some pics of my boys at 3 months.
Euan is in the Red top and Callum in the green
Cant believe how much they have changed and grown in such a short space of time.

Thanks, they are fraternal but can look quite similer.

Awww - everyone's babies are looking so beautiful, well done ladies............love you all!x

Raquel - Your LO did prove everyone wrong hun, and look at her now the little lamb. We were told our daughter wouldn't make it when she was born at 24wks, but look at her now!! She is a healthy 6yr old. Seeing Hannah reminds me so much of Evie, she too came hoime on oxygen. The journey is so tough my sweet, but you will get there in the end. Your twinnies are gorgeous xxx

Pics are adorable but I just need to ask why you shaved their gorgeous hair off? was there a pacific reason???
Sorry to pry I have just never seen a bub with their head shaved. I did shave my eldest sons when he was 12mths so it would grow in thicker but he was 1yr old.

Hi bek! We shaved their hair as it firstly had gotten very long very fast and was uncontrollable! Will grow back evenly and thicker this way. Also we do it as a custom; newborns first load of hair is shaved off and weighed, the weight is converted to money and the money is given to charity. Their hair is coming back so fast already!!

Woo, cool thankyou so much for sharing that with me, that is a very neat idea.
I didn't mean to pry I had just never seen or heard of that before, thanks again for answering me

We do that too!! I'm guessing you might be Muslim?

Interesting! In my mum's culture babies are also required a haircut on the day they leave the house for the first time at 3 months. On that day, the parents throw a big celebration party. Before that 'coming out' party, newborns are not allowed to leave the house unless for doctor's appointments. Since our babies were out and about a week after they came home (I don't really follow my mum's culture), I didn't cut their hair and I didn't throw a bash.

But I like how you guys convert the money for charity. BTW, you babies are gorgeous. Love the new piccies, especially the one with you holding them. It seems you are already shedding the baby weight.

 

[ahbon]

such gorgeous piccies people - how lucky you are

 

[Nut_Shake]

Plus2 - yes we are

Livid - we also do a 40 day thing where the babies don't leave the house except for appointments, I didn't really pay attention to that tho, lol, I went out with them a couple of times, was going stir crazy! And I've def been lucky weight wise, I just now can't wait to get back into the gym in the next few weeks!

Awwwwww Chetnaz, your boys are sooooo cute! I see you got the aqua pod. How is it? Seriously thinking of investing on one of those. And those bandana bibs are simply adorable.

 

[Nut_Shake]

Chetnaz, such cuteness!!! I want to get one of those bath things. I'm also going to get some of those bandana bibs from ebay, soooo cute! xx

 

[I_AM_LIVID]

Haven't uploaded in a while. Here are a few of the twins together, and the last one with sleepy daddy while camping out in the nursery.

 

[chetnaz]

Thanks ladies> The aquapod is good, although you gotta still watch them and be free to grab them as they can fall at the sides (it doesn't go all the way around). ALso it was so great to wash them together for the first time, i've been dying to for ages! Definately worth a buy. xx
