Just a quick one to say thank you for all your lovely comments and messages, I read them all out and the girls say thank you too (as does Mr LV). Life has taken on a true 24 hours a day meaning. Partly because Tegen was so small she was put on a heavy feeding schedule. We succeeded with that and made it home yesterday evening. So long as Summer is a good weight when the midwives weigh her today (she wasn't classed as small so oddly wasn't weighed yesterday and will be weighed today instead, I love protocols and rules) then we can all stay home. They had a touch of jaundice but that seems to be clearing now. We seem to be mastering the art of breast feeding and I've even managed a couple of simultaneous twin feeds earning me the title earth mother on the maternity ward. The staff were amazing but it's so nice to be home and have help from Mr LV, particularly during the night screams, feeds and changes! I love these two to bits, never knew I could love something so much, they are just magic. I'll shut up now before I get really soppy! Hope you are all well. Sorry for not posting but I am thinking of you all and send my love and support through th good and bad times. A billion thank yous for all the love and support you have given me, it means so much.
Love LV xx
Love LV xx

Of course you should apologise for not posting - how very dare you forget us and just waltz off using the vague excise of caring for twins.
I'm actually amazed to hear from you and thank you for posting the update. You are in many thoughts on here (mine included even though I don't do the baby thing in any way, shape or form). You have your hands full in a rather lovely way (though maybe the novelty will wear off in a few months?) and I hope all continues to go well for all four of you. Are they identical? If so can you tell them apart? (If you've posted that info somewhere already then I apologise for missing it but I'm not too clever at the moment with a bug.) Take the best care of you so you can take the best care of them. ((((())))) DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -

Lovely to see you posting and to hear how well you are all getting on.
As for being soppy - I WELL remember that amazing feeling of overwhelming love and adoration I felt when I had my first

You get on and enjoy them.

I'm so pleased everything is going so well.
Make the most of every moment, and I hope your girls bring you as much happiness as mine did, and still do ( they're 23 and 28 now).

I was just wondering how you've been doing. Didn't notice you'd posted so I did a search and found this. Sounds as if you are doing marvellously well. Feeding 2 babies at once. Wow. Enjoy every minute of them because the time flies by.Christine0
