Day 88: 40 weeks! Due date. Here we are, the original date we were given that we would meet the most precious bundles of joy (not that we knew we were expecting twins at that stage). Now maybe I can stop mourning the pregnancy as it would officially be over. Today we were also given the date of Aidens hernia repair. This friday. 12.12.14 my baby boy is having his first surgery. We will stay overnight at the royal childrens and if all goes well then come home on saturday. Aiden has been settling in well this time, he has now been home 1 week tomorrow. We are getting use to being sleep deprived parents (although im guessing that is probably exacerbated by going in/out of hospital to see Abigail as well). He feeds 3-4hrly, up to 115mls already! He has also started waking for some play time. He is on HITH at the moment and was weighed yesterday.. he is a whopping 3.4kgs! Abigail is still on low flow oxygen but seems to be turning a corner today so far. Today Abigail didnt seem to be working as hars with her breathing. She had 1 bottle, a bath and a breast feed and still was only in 180mls in 100% (not the highest setting as she has been all week previously). She was active and alert today. Abigail is 3.2kgs and due a weight overnight tonight, although her feeds were decreased so im not expecting that she will have gained all that much. For their due date all of us went in (previously ash has been doing the morning with Abigail while im home with Aiden and I go in the afternoon with Abigail while he is home with Aiden). This meant I was able to enjoy a twin cuddle and family story time! We decided twice a week is enough for Aiden to be back in hospital at this stage. I wont lie, things are incredibly tough at the moment. We spend little time together as a couple and as a family. We are in and out of the hospital, it is expensive and exhausting. We are resting when we can but in reality there is very little time (even less when you factor in expressing for me!) But I cant imagine doing anything differently. There is no limit on the things we would do for our children. It might be tough now, but it wont be this way forever... one day we will all be home together and hopefully then this time apart will seem so fleeting.
