A Fraught Two Weeks
Aaron an Lewis have been growing nicely, putting on about 8ozs per week on average, they are now just over 7 weeks old and we are really enjoying looking after them when we get the opportunity. The last two weeks have been a little fraught though.
A fortnight gone Tuesday Lewis developed a hernia and Aaron got one a day later, both had to have operations on the Friday that week. The operations went well and the boys recovered as if nothing had happened. Unfortunately Lewis developed a hernia on the other side this week and had to have an emergency operation on Wednesday evening. Thankfully that went better than expected and he is back home again.
We're now keeping our fingers crossed that Aaron doesn't follow suit in the near future. They are coming to visit us tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. Little Aaron has learned how to smile and was using his new found skill to his full ability on Wednesday, whilst Lewis was in theatre. I think he loved all the attention he was getting, we'll have to watch that, I think he's a little attention seeker on the sly.

They're Home
The twins and their mother were allowed to come home yesterday, which was a relief to all. The twins are doing well, especially as they have now worked out how to 'eat'. We saw them last night and it's great to see them in their home surroundings.
I'm sure that mum and dad will cope fine, especially with a little help from all us grandparents when they need it. I know I'm biased but I think Zoe has some rivals because they're gorgeous.
