Twenty tiny fingers, and twenty tiny toes...

My twin nephews were born on November 18th, 2008 and today I got to meet them for the very first time!

Ethan was born at 11:25am and weighed 4lbs 11ozs and Euan was born at 11:40am and weighed 3lbs 11ozs.

Ethan was allowed home with my sister-in-law when he was a couple of days old and he's gained half an ounce. Poor Euan has spent his whole life so far in the special care baby unit, however, he's now taking the bottle on a fairly regular basis and he's gained 5 ounces since his birth - the little porker!

Here are some pics of Ethan:

And here are some pics of Euan:

Here's a photograph of half of the family (Thomas, Zoe & Ethan):

And my nephew, Thomas:

He gained so much in just a week! He's doing wonderfully at the moment, and hopefully the 4-week in the SCBU thing will be reduced to just a few more days!

I didn't think I had enough room in my heart to love the twins as much as I love Emily & Thomas, but I love them just as much and I'e only spent a few hours with them!!

I love the pic of their hands touching...I think that one will go on my desk at work! I'm going to visit again next weekend I think, so I'll get more pics then!
