These precious identical baby girls have finally arrived home to Marmalade House and we couldn’t be more excited.

Bill and Jack are completely outnumbered now.
We’re all still marvelling at how this miracle even occurred.
To be perfectly honest, the last few weeks have been a blur and we’ve all just moved in to survival mode. To make it even trickier, the hospital tags have been removed from the twins……so now it’s anyone’s guess who is who!
Amy was admitted to hospital on Feb 16 and the babies were born on Feb 19.
They were 36 weeks.
They remained in the Special Care nursery for 8 days and we were able to visit them there.
Amy was taken to Intensive Care on day 5 with preeclampsia which subsequently frightened the life out of all of us. She remained there for three worrying days. The babies were taken to her by Helen and the nurses for their feeds.
Finally leaving Special Care for the first time.
Sleep deprivation is a thing.
I’m not sure that Amy and Helen’s eyes have even closed for the last two weeks, let alone gone into sleep mode.
This is their current state……

This is what picking flowers looks like now….
…..and sometimes that’s as far as they get!Helen and Amy are doing an amazing job with the babies and Jack.
We are in awe of them.
