The twins re-union

Words can't describe our day on Sunday, so I will let you all just watch the videos below. Suffice to day it was probably the best day we have had yet in Edmonton. Both babies were breathing completely unassisted for about 15 minutes, and then spent another hour without masks, using only a lo-flow tube under their noses. Previous record on lo-flow was only about 2 minutes, and that was only a few days ago. As the title suggests.. this was the 2nd time the twins got to touch each other. Dillon is on the left, and Madeleine to the right, sound asleep.











As you can see, Madeleine slept through the entire event. She had been awake about 30 minutes earlier, but crashed by the time she got on Abby. Here she is earlier while we were changing her outfit.


So there we are.. a great day had by all. We were in 7th heaven for the rest of the day. It was incredible. We had about 10 nurses all crowded around watching the fun as they cuddled with mom.

I'm back in Vancouver this week, so there probably won't be any new pics until the weekend.

What a great video. I think its time to go shopping! That's just wonderful news - 15 minutes! FANTASTIC. Everyone, I was out with Abby a few weeks ago and had the best visit - she is so good with these little bundles, so calm and centred - its a beautiful site. Can't wait to have you all home. David thanks for capturing all this - you are such a great geek :)

Oh my gosh! Those are the best videos yet! LOVE em! My little 3 year old girl just can't stop watching them... she thinks they're so cute! And man do they look alike! Ya know, you can already tell which one is the girl... you don't even need to point it out. Madeleine just looks so "girly"... i don't know what it is! And Dillon just looks like such a little boy! Too cute! So glad to see things going well over there!
