Twin grandchildren

Thank you glammanana. We've had some fun this weekend with the twin grandsons, who are into everything now, and believe that a hurried 'sorry, mummy' with a winning smile fixes everything! That includes lobbing the contents of her purse down the toilet (they were looking for pennies - notes and silver did not qualify, so down the loo they went).

Such a delight carol well done to your DD and of course her DP who had a bit of an input,they have come on beautifully since the first pic you took of them,those two little boys look so full of mischeif I can see it in their faces they are adorable and so handsome your eldest DGS at 12 seems so grown up,lovely.

carol two beautiful little girls. amazing to compare the photos of them and not so long ago.

They look wonderful! Enjoy!

I've just put a delightful photo of Polly and Alice on my profile. It was taken this evening. They really are the cuddliest babies now they have started to laugh and gurgle. Such a huge relief to see them thriving after their very early arrival.

Thanks digikidnan. My grandsons are three and a half and so full of beans, but such lovely boys and they adore each other - always holding hands and hugging. If you reprimand one of them for being a bit rough, the other will say 'don't tell my brother off, he's my best friend!' They get into all sorts of mischief. I can only guess what it'll be like when the two sets of twin cousins get together at 2 and 5 years respectively. They'll be like a mischievous troupe of monkeys!

Wonderful Carol. Much love to you and your special twin grandchildren. Ours are now 5. They've spent today here, and they are a joy, so good at sharing. I think all babies should be twins (though perhaps not, those first few months were hard work!!)

Carol, I feel your joy! What terrific news. They really are progressing well.

What a fantastic day! Twins Polly and Alice have been weighed by the neonatal community midwife, and Polly has reached 8 lbs, Alice 7 lbs. Seems such a long time ago that they were born - they're 4 1/2 months old now and should only have been born 6 weeks ago. They are both smiling and interacting with everyone now, and getting through all their preemie baby tests successfully.

My best wishes to anyone who has grandchildren in Special Care following premature birth. The NHS has done my family proud!

feel. My fingers can't spell tonight. And I don't even have the excuse of an i-pad.

Carol, I fell your elation. What a wonderful time you've had today.

Carol, I'm so happy for you ! Enjoy!,

Such a lovely day today, cuddling my twin grandaughters who are coming on in leaps and bounds and starting to interact with us. A year ago my daughter started her first round of IVF, and how lucky she was to have success first time - IVF was withdrawn a month after she started the programme and is still not available because of local NHS cuts. We really have been blessed with these two beautiful children.

Carol they look adorable, double cuddles

Beautiful wee girls, Carol! All's well with the world now!
