Week 10

Happy end of week everyone.  Jack and Ella have had one of their 'steady' weeks where nothing spectacular has occurred but they have continued on a positive course.  Jack put on 141 grams this week, now weighing in at 2.116kg, Ella put on a respectable 99 grams, and now weighs 1.817kg.  This is the most exciting thing that happened this week - over 1.8kg means she will be moved in the next few days to an open crib - another woohoo moment for us!

They have both become far more alert over the past week, watching everything that goes on around them when they're awake with their big blue eyes - we can really only see the colour for the first time now...  They also reach out with their hands to try and find things they can see near them and drive the nurses mad trying to pull their tubes out. 

*side note - hilarious moment was Jack catching a glimpse of his feeding tube that was being held up during a feed and going cross-eyed trying to look at it.

A few nice photo's of all of our children!

Jack in his Big Pants.  OK so putting him in a size 0000 was a little bit ambitious!
