She was born at 4lbs 5Oz&#8217;s and is now 5Lbs and is finally home with myself, Amanda, and Liam. At the end of this torrid two month period, it&#8217;s nice to be home and enjoying family time, mixed with getting back to work!

		<description><![CDATA[I have contemplated this post for a week or more, wondering whether to just delete the &#8216;twins&#8217; section or whether to carry on with it. As some of you will know, we lost one of our girls on September 10th and we are just about coming to terms with it, though still very bewildered by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, with my vacation about to start, we now have only five weeks before Althea and Zoe arrive!
One of the concerns our Doctor had was the weight of the twins, which he expected/predicted would be around 2 lbs at birth. Thankfully, we have now found that their current weight is already almost 2lbs each! This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, we get a bit of a break this week; we have skybox tickets for the Nova Scotia International Tattoo festival.
Much like its Edinburgh counterpart, the festival is a stream of song, dance, cannons and more. Should be fun.
Happy Canada Day!
