The Girls Escape!

The girls have now been with us for 5 whole days and whilst Helen has been lucky enough to have a quick cuddle with Lydia, Phoebe hasn't been allowed out to play! Today was quite momentus for us, as I was able to have my first cuddle with Lydia and Helen was able to hold Phoebe for the very first time. Here's a few photo's to prove it....!

It was truly FANTASTIC to have my first cuddle with one of my daughters!

You will notice that Lydia was allowed off her oxygen and could give her nose a nice rest from the nasty pipes!

The nurses particularly liked my "Who's the Daddy" T-shirt!





This is one of Helen, holding Phoebe for the very first time.
She had to keep her oxygen pipes in place. These are not ventillating her, just providing a slight pressure in her lungs, so she doesn't wear herself out too much just from the action of breathing.



The doctors did their round while we were with the girls this morning, and "so far so good"!
