Hi everyone,
Tracey told you that Nadia dn Alex were born on 23 September and now I am so happy to tell you my little girl has been home for more than a week! our family is starting the new and very different life together. Tracey, thanks for being such a good friend and posting the news. It took another week before Nadia was allowed home, she is still very small but feisty, eats well and grows. Alex is still a kilo heavier than her and a very relaxed boy, except when we delay his food! I am quite overwhelmed to have them both here and also by the life without sleep!
Thank you all for your good wishes and congratulations! Michelle, I guess we both like the name Alexander, I assume your son is Alexander too?
Jules, the story of your friend is a nice example for Nadia I do hope she will catch up.
I just wanted to say to everyone on the board that it's been amazing sharing the pregnancy and its ups and downs with you! I look forward to sharing baby news when there is abit more ttime - i wish!
love to all,
juliana
Only me Juliana. Just popped on to say welcome back to you all - emailed you but wanted to be first to reply before Shell got in there.
It's so overwhelming isn't it after all we go through and I still have days where I just can't believe I have them. Glad NAdia is growing - she will catch up in her own time.
Good luck and congratulations again to you all
Love
Tracey, Emily and Alice

t's great to hear that little nadia is home and both babies are doing well.
i only manage to get on here once in a while now, and then i can only usually manage to read and not post. it's great to catch up on what everyone's doing.
what you said about sharing our pregnancies is such a lovely thing to say and so true. it's a special time made better by being part of this board.
Just want to say how happy I am and congratulations on the birth of your little miracles. You will certainly have every minute and every hour taken up but its hours and minutes we wouldn't swap for the world. Alex is just Alex not Alexander Julianna and I am so happy I chose the name I did.
I have set up a poll for new mom's just waiting for Marcus to come back to me and agree if we can have it.
Hi Juliana,am so glad you have got them both home,it must be amazing after the journey we all go through.I love your names,Alexander is top of our list for the boy.
I am 34 weeks now and cannot get about much,am so looking forward to meeting my little twinnies,it still feels unreal!
Hi to all those who remember me,sorry I haven't really posted but I have been reading and keeping up tp date.
big hugs Magnus x
juliana, what wonderful news, you must be so so happy, sometimes
i just sit there for ages looking at my little bundle of joy and it makes
me tearful, my mum is even having a mass read for little Ben as
we all call him our miricale baby.
I can imagine you must be exhaused with 2 little ones to look after
i just never seem to have any time, u just have to be so organised.
Hopefully chat soon.
love alison
Hi everyone,
I just now had time to log on and red your lovely mails. I really feel happy and honoured to be part of a group of such brave women, as everyone on this board has fought hard for their pregnancies, their relationship and sometimes it seemed to me for sanity in the face of all kinds of challenged. I must say I have felt overwhlemed in the first month, overtired and even doubting my ability to cope with the two, but now things are settling down a bit and I am merely tired, not crushed with tiredness (well, on a good day, yesterday I thopught I would faint with lack of sleep). So I can finally experience what I feel it's all about, gratitude they are here, amazement at the miracle that they are. and yes, what a different life - it seems as if I will never have time to waste again, never mind time for work and all that...
Love to you all, I will certainly join the parents forum as well when i can log on,
juliana
It's good to hear that things are going so well. It's a completely different way of life eh?! but one that we wouldn't swop for all the world.
