A busy day today. Our friend Barb was in to visit yesterday when I was in Vancouver. I got in late Friday night, so I missed her (We'll catch up for a drink soon Barb!) Jody left this morning (Sat) back to Vancouver, and my Mom arrived today at 3. Its great to have everyone coming through and see the babies.
As promised in the last post, here are the weights. Dillon is now 2 lbs 4.5 oz, and Madeleine is 1 lb 9.5oz. Madeleine came off her feeds for 4 hours yesterday and 6 hours today, as her stomach was upset and she had some bile in it. She is gaining less weight than Dillon, but still doing well. She also pulled her tube out again, so they are keeping a close eye on her. She came off the UV lights today, so she can now sleep with a blanket over her to keep her warm and snuggled. She now opens her eyes when you talk to her.
Abby is done all her medications except for one pain killer, and is feeling much better. We may even venture out to the mall in the next few days if her strength keeps up.

Oh you guys, Madeleine is just so precious! Looks like she's going to be a beautiful blonde like her Mom!I'm so glad to hear that Mom is feeling better too. It will make things so much easier to deal with for her. To be feeling so rough yourself and then to have the concern for the babies on top of it is just too much!
Never mind Darlin's, every day is just going to get better and better! It's awesome that you're getting some company too....that always helps. Wish I could be one of them! Anyway, kiss each other for me and stroke the little ones when you get the chance.
All My Love, Lil XOX
I cant believe how much she has changed already (madeleine, a good head of hair and fabulous news about the weight gain! Definately on the path to greater things!
Well done Ab poor thing, you've been through so much to get this far - and it was lovely speaking to you. Hang in there. Dave thanks so much for taking care of the family so well, and keeping us updated!
Lots of love - Linda
Hi guys.
Great to hear things are continuing to go well. Thanks again for keeping the blog up to date. I'm checking at every internet cafe I visit (this one in Rome!). Enjoy the fresh underwear David. Enjoy the high culture of the West Edmonton Mall, too.
Best wishes, Brian
Hi guys,

So glad you are feeling better Ab and that you are getting some company, lucky them to see you, wish I could!! But I will before I know it, right!!

Hi Abby & David,
Back home in England now. Finally got to bed 9.30pm our time on Friday, having been up for 30 hrs. Just about recovered now.
The news of both little ones is wonderful & it's great to see that there weight is increasing. Madeleine is looking adorable & her hair is so pretty.
Glad you're feeling brighter Abby & I'm sure a bit of retail therapy at the mall will help! Well it always works for me.
I think the blog is brilliant David & you should be so chuffed with yourself for creating something so special to keep us all in touch with events.
We send you all lots of love & big hugs all round.

Dear Ab and Dave
Its amazing how Madeleine is changing. Great news about the weight - going in the right direction that's for sure for both Dillon and Madeline.
Have been checking the blog every day and just can't tell you how good this feels to just to be able to check in and see how you are all doing. I will touch base with you to see when is good to pop over/up/down - whatever! J
It is amazing how much the babies have changed in such a short time. They are looking stronger by the day : )
Your family has been in our thoughts and prayers. We think the blog is awesome! Hope you can feel all the positive energy focused your way.
Congratulations! They are beautiful and wonderous little babies : )
Love Gord, Jessica and Emerson
