Oh goodness - don't know where to start............ I have just waved off Nikola and her DH and the most darling of twins - Florence and Amelia - they are so gorgeous I could eat them.
Firstly she sends her love to you all and says sorry she has not been on at all but absolutely knackered. Millie kept her up nearly all last night -she is growing well but still so tiny. Wibbs she will try and drop you a line!
They are adorable and Nikola takes it all in her stride - she gave me the honest low down on having twins - yikes and help and all that. My DH was supposed to be in a meeting this pm but cancelled it and snuck out for an hour for a cuddle - he was most taken I can tell you. Nikola being Nikola let me feed them - well I fed Florence who is a right guzzler until my dog took the opportunity to lick the bottle whilst I was winding - honestly! Then cuddles with both of them - Florence then spent the afternoon sleeping on me - they really are lovely - have I said that?
Wanted to say that Nikola is fine and the girls and she hopes that all of you will be there really soon!
Love
Tracey

It sounds like you all had a lovely time Tracey - Florence and Amelia sound gorgeous. It's good to hear that Nikola's doing well (apart from on the sleep front) too.
When you say that Nikola gave you 'the honest low down' on twins, are you sure that she really told you everything?!

So pleased you had a lovely day with Nikola and the girls, you lucky thing. I would love to see them but they live even further away from me in the country Oh well, I will just have to do with the photos.
You sound like you were smitten with them. Did they take any piccys of you and the girls? You may feature on their website!

they sound gorgeous. you must have had such a lovely time. it's really encouraging that nikola is up and about after her c-section and organised enough to be out and about - not what a girl is told at antenatal i must say.
well tracey, great practice for you. it must have made it seem so real and so close now.
Thanks for the piccies Tracey. I have to say that the girls on here are great at producing beautiful babies and Florence and Amelia are no exception. And cuddling baby girl twins really suits you and Ian !

You sound as if you had a great time. Won't be long until your doing the same. Nikola sounds well and she is coping. I am worried about coping with one never mind two. At least you are close to someone who is going through it and is on hand to give advice.
Say hello to her for me.
