Amazing!

We have survived a week. To be honest, it is pretty easy for blokes. We worry about the finance and house and car and stuff, but Sara the sheer exhaustion and physical demands she has to put up with are way beyond my current input.

Sara has been amazing. She has managed to have our girls only on breast milk, no formula, and even I know how important that is if you can obtain it. Sara has been on a 3 hour / 24 hour rhythm. 1 for sleep, 1 for eat, 1 for feeding. Cie and Willow are fed by both tube (expressed breast milk) and breast feeding, but this is taking them some to get used to.

We bathed them for the first time on Monday. They loved it, fell asleep after, and now their hair is(are) all fuzzy.

I have just come from the hospital to work. That is hard, I could spend all day with them, but it's that tug of knowing you have to work to make sure they have what they need. But my cuddle this morning with both of them and each individually for over an hour was just magic.

We will be doing this trip for a few weeks yet. Up at 5/5:30, to the hospital by 7:30/7:45 and go home later in the evening. Sara will stay at hospital all day, and I duck off to a cafe to work.

My girls are just beautiful.
