Long Week
The twins have been teething since last weekend and have been off their food, drooling and not sleeping well. Mum and Dad are a little tired.
Friday evening, daycare told us that Cara had a temperature of 101.6 and may have symptoms of hand, foot and mouth so off we went to Acute Care (sort of a low-key Emergency Room) where they played under murals of Marvin the Martian.
It turns out that they have herpangina which is a non-threatening viral infection common among kids. Their prescription includes TLC and a "magic mouthwash" which is really 3 medications combined. That seems to have helped their appetite and now they are roaming around after a good breakfast.

The Score So Far
Caitlin has pulled into the lead in the walking stakes; she took an unsupported step on Friday night and can definitely stand longer.
Caitlin also has 6 teeth through while Cara has only 4..
On the other hand, Cara walks further (using a walker) and can settle to a squat and then return to standing without support or assistance.
It's close so far, sports fans!

Up hill and Down Dale

Bad Babies, Silly Toddler
The twins have been getting more active so we chained them together so they wouldn't escape.
Just kidding, the bracelets were a gift from aunt Sue for Meghan and one of a number of kiddie items that are getting recycled in the household.
Returning the favour, Meghan decided to get more use of her sister's binky (or dummy back home).

Cara and Caitlin Get Weighed
Cara and Caitlin went for their one month check today and were weighed, measured, poked and prodded. Everything was fine; Cara has now caught up with her sister and they are both 7lbs and around 20 inches.
Mama is tired but doing well with lots of help from Grandma and from Dada and Meghan

Tanning Beds
The twins have a little jaundice and have their own tanning beds to help them get over it.

It's Late..
It's late and everyone else is asleep. As I type that, Caitlin wakes up behind me because she's hungry or needs changing. It's only been two days but I can tell them apart by their noises (Cara makes higher-pitched noises) and their feeding habits (Caitlin eats more and protests more when hungry).

Meghan Met Her Sisters
It was a long day but I remembered to pick up Meghan from daycare and then we went for a dad-daughter meal at Chick-Fil-A where, while we dined on chicken nuggets, I explained the new family order, got her saying 'babies' and 'antiseptic handwash' then took her to meet her sisters.
She seemed ok until one of the worms with heads started crying. She was comfortable pointing at noses and eyes but not holding them and looked a little distressed when we got too close. She was happier after we went for a walk to the jello fridge and we used the antiseptic handwash a couple of dozen times.. she actually wanted to check Mom's tummy to see if the babies were still in there.
On the way home, she asked about Mum and Grandma several times.. and as she falling asleep, she was asking about the babies.

The Twins Are Here
Cara (5 lbs, 11oz) and Caitlin (6lb, 4.7oz) were born today around 12.50 and took turns to cry. So far we think they look like each other but only some of the time. Everything went well and Mum is feeling lighter.
Here's a picture:

Today is the Day!
Today is the day that Meghan gets to meet her two baby sisters.
We are waiting in the hospital at the moment, Aey is sleeping and her Mum is watching tv, all of us getting some rest while we can.
The nurses have been and done their thing, the OB dropped in to see if everything is ok and now we are just waiting.
So far, the favorite names are Caitlin and Cara.. that may change.
Pictures later!
