Nikola's Update!

Nikola · Post by **Nikola** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 9:51 pm

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.

Just a quick update (slightly more rational than last night, but still elated)

Nik's still sore but getting better, managed to walk to the loo by herself and we wheeled her to the SCBU a couple of times and we could cuddle FLORENCE ALICE and AMELIA ISOBEL. And they are fantastic. Fantastic. Gorgeous. They have their own personalities already. Florrie's laid back like me and Milly's feisty like, ummm, answers on a postcard please. Nik hopes to walk to the SCBU tomorrow (speed she's going though, she better set off tonight!) It's only 50 yards away.

We're now surviving the onslaught of grandparents, which is similar level of stress as an emergency c-section.

Oh, and they're out of ICU now, they've moved down the ward a little towards the door, unfortunatley it might be a 2 month journey. But we're loving every minute.

Nope, parenthood's fine by me.

Right, bed calls again.

Thanks again for the wishes, I'll pass them on to Nik, she might be home (sans Florence and Amelia) sometime next week to post personally.

Traci, she still needs a proper wax, the shave she got from a paniking midwife on Thursday didn't cut the mustard!

Anyway, enjoy pregnancy, don't wish it away too quickly and if you're trying, a quick prayer or wish when injecting might just do the trick!

(I'm just pleased the girls are around to see Leeds United in the Premiership, if just for a short while!)

Chris.

Chris & Nik

What fantastic names!!! They sound like they are doing well and seeing them moved down the ward, or downgrading rooms as they do up here is fantastic and exciting. The time will pass and before you know it you'll have a household of 4 (excluding animals!)

All the best

What lovely names you've chosen Nikola and Chris. It sounds as if Florence and Amelia are doing really well (and much better than Leeds United). Give our love to Nikola and your girls.

Love Jules, Daniel and Charlotte

P.S. Daniel's really looking forward to having the pick from all these gorgeous girls arriving!

Hi Nikola and Chris

Fantastic news that the girls are moving up in the world well, moving beds. What super names. I think Florence and Amelia are such pretty names.

I really am so happy for you both. Now, Nikola don't try to do too much. Make the most of having the wheelchair!!!

You will be run off your feet before you know it when they come home. Oh I wish I lived closer. I can't wait to see pictures of them.

Speak soon

Love and big hugs from Dagny xkx

Take Care

Nik and lovely hubby (who's name shall still remain anonymous on here!) CONGRATULATIONS. I know I texted you several times from Cyprus but guessed you would print this off Nik to keep so wanted to add something in writing from Auntie Tracey.
Spitting feathers????????????

(too right Dagny) I mean honestly -t old you to keep you legs crossed. At the moment we only have one cross over on names and that is a middle name but DH changes his mind with the wind. At present we are on Emily Alice and Hannay Charlotte but he wants to swap the Alice for Sarah and we are still battling - not that I have antying against a Sarah but wanted Alice. Think of all that shopping. and JULES - thought Daniel was reserved for my two.
As for you DH - yes you - great photo of you - looking much better than Nik! and the girls piccies are lovely. Nik not looking your best hun - think Traci has her work cut out. As for Leeds better scurry them to a game sharpish by the looks - let's just hope hey?
With loads of love
