Home with everyone (family of 5)





I am very happy to say that I was able to bring my girls home on Wednesday of this week. That seemed a bit strange as they were not even 48 hours old. We left the hospital with a clean bill on Wednesday around lunch time and brought the girls home. It was a nice feeling to have everyone home safe and sound.
The girls have been settling in to their new home and Maddy thinks they are pretty neat. Not sure how long that will last! Nights have been tough as they have been up every hour to two. We are keeping Maddy at home until next week and trying to have some time as a family. Thank you to everyone for the kind words and prayers over the past week. Our nephew Cooper is still recovering from heart surgery in Edmonton and he is in our thoughts a lot these days. Thank you to everyone who has been praying and thinking about him. Ava and Zoe can't wait to meet their cousins Cooper and Katie. We hope to see them soon.
I have been having a nap each afteroon with one of the girls laying on me. If you haven't had a chance to have this opporunity, their is no feeling like it. It is a beautiful feeling to have a little sleeping 'peanut' on your chest as you sleep.
In case you are wondering, yes I can tell them apart (sorta). We believe they are identical but won't know for a few weeks. They have a slight size and colouring difference between them.
Life has been busy so I don't know how many updates I will get to do. Thanks again to everyone and we are a very lucky family to have such healthy and beautiful children. Thanks and please keep our Armed Forces in your thoughts this Rememberance Day..........God bless Canada........................Brian

Soooooooooo cute.... they look a little like Maddy at that age - but boy what great colour! I miss them so much and can't wait to come see them someday. We miss all you guys terribly - take care of all those cute girls!!! Remember daddy, girls have a mind of their own and can do it "by myself" :-)

Sorry, Chrissie. I forgot to answer your question. In the middle picture on this post, Ava is on the left and Zoe is on the right. Ava has a much darker complexion and less hair. Zoe's face is bigger and they are actually quite easy to tell apart right now. We'll find our next Wednesday if they are identical or not. They send the placenta away to test.....Char
