Dad & the babies

Today was my day to hold the little pumpkins. Pics below. They are starting to look more like each other everyday. They are both growing blonde hair, and their little faces are starting to look similar. How they behave? Well.. that's another story. Dillon sleeps most of the time, is very calm, and every time you touch him, he quiets down and snuggles in.

She.. on the other hand.. is constantly moving, kicking, punching and squirming. It is quite usual to look across the room and see her little leg or hand sticking straight up in the air. If you cuddle her, she spends an hour kicking you. She is now universally described by the nurses as "feisty" I half expect her to start swearing like a trucker soon!
Both have gained more weight. He is now 2lb 6oz and she is 1lb 11.5 oz

Here's a few pics of me with the babies.. First off.. Madeleine.


Then it was Dillon's turn

Good Mornin' Mom, Dad , Dillon and
Madeleine
I can't believe how much difference there appears to be each time you send pictures Dave.
Do you guys see it or are you too close?
For all the bitching and complaining about our Medical Services, it sure is comforting to know that there are professionals out there that obviously know what they're doing! Those babies are a testament to that! So pass along the thanks of those who love you to those wonderful people.
I hope you're continuing to get stronger Abby. Are you enjoying being in your little abode?
Just keep the good news (and pictures) coming guys.

Lovin' ya lots, Lil XOX

Beautiful pictures! The babies are really getting cute and I have to agree with everyone else - their hair is fabulous! Such good news to hear that they can be moved back to Vancouver. Let's just hope that all of the babies here in Van get healthy and sent home quickly - making room for you all!! Can't wait to talk to you Abby!
love,
Gina
