Still inside, New pictures

So, Valentine's day and still in hospital. & days after the birth. We so desperately want to come home but Hector is not out of the woods yet. He can't sustain his own blood sugar level yet and is still on the glucose drip. His milk intake is being increased and Pip is beginning to get him back on the breast. Still waiting for test results, still nothing grown from the blood samples so no news on possible infection. His EEG scan was normal and we await the results on this mornings MRI scan.

That's the news on Hector, Henry on the other hand is doing very well, eating round the clock and continuing to make us laugh, which is just what we need in this stressful time...

And now here are a selection of new pictures:

You have the cutest babies! Very excited to hear that Henry and Pippa are doing so well and we continue to think of you all, especially Hector, everyday. Thanks so much for the continual updates they're fantastic photos. I'm off to practice my Green Mealie Bread for when you guys get home- you're going to need all the carbs you can get Pip!
