Babies 1st Week Home

Finally Nigel and Natalie came home on 30 Dec 2009 just in time to Celebrate the New Year. They were brought home and had their first night together where they both shared the same cot for the time being since they were small enough to fit into one the other cot we could put aside until they were a little bigger.

Here they are sleeping side by side in their new cot after they had freshen up from their ride back home from the Hospital in their car seats. Pictures below were taken during the journey home.

 

The little boy wanted to stay up to welcome the New Year and he just would not sleep, he was having a little tummy ache, so daddy and mummy had to rush and get him some medication (Pu Yi oil or something like that) It really helps as after applying, he quieten down and went to bed. The little girl on the other hand slept through all the excitement. That was the first major emergency.

Nigel was the handsome boy at the hospital nursery, since all the nurses who met us would immediately recognise us once we tell them we were the parents of the twin boy and girl. Nigel is eating well but he is a little fussy as to where he sleeps and bath time is something he seems to dislike a lot. Nappy changing seems to get him really agitated although he would ‘signal’ that he needs a change but when you want to change him he gets a little worked up. But over time he is quieter during nappy changes now. He seems to be going on a growth spurt as he is drinking lots of milk, hungry little guy. We went to the doctors for their first checkup and all seems well for him. He now weighs in at 2.9kg (more than his birth weight of 2.5kg) And the little handsome boy below all wrapped up after a good shower.

 

Natalie was the little Princess at the Hospital Nursery since she was the only girl in the ICU ward together with her brother and another set of twins both boys. She is very different from her brother, a slower drinker but she is getting better as the days go by. She is not so agitated during bath times and nappy changes and tends to sleep anywhere since we have 2 cots, 1 playpen and a baby rocker to choose from, the rocker seems to be what she likes most. Car rides seem to bother her a little but still early to tell since they have not been on many. At the checkup she has gain weight and now is about 2.4kg which is much more than her 2.1kg birth weight and the doctor was pleased considering she put on more than her brother.
