Information, Or Lack There Of...

So we had done our part; Jacob and Lilian had been born and the doctors were now doing their best to keep them safe, so soon we would be joining them and would find out how they are so we can start to relax right? Not exactly...

The Doctors and Nurses have been amazingly supportive and great in explaining everything that they do know; in this circumstance it is limited to how the babies are doing at that very moment rather than how they will be. We were told that premature babies are usually stable in the first 24 hours and that it is the following days that the bumpy ride is likely to begin. With all of this uncertainty; the word 'stable' has very quickly become the best word in the world to me and one I really can't get enough of. 

An example for extent of the uncertainty is that the first time our babies will open their eyes could be any at moment or a few weeks from now, I personally can't wait to see their beautiful eyes looking back at me!

As new parents of premature babies; all that we can do is try to take in as much of what the doctors are saying about how the twins are doing, and count every new day without problems as a good day. 

With our next few posts we hope to get everything 'caught up' with what has happened to this point so we can start with the updates as they happen.
