The cousins are here!

One of the cool things about being pregnant has been that my oldest sister was pregnant at the same time as me. Somehow, without planning it at all, we ended up being due within a week of each other.

Since she was carrying twins though, they ended up arriving quite a few weeks ahead of the peanut and have been here since the 12th of June. When we found out that the girls' arrival was imminent, Cam and I talked to the peanut and told him that the cousins were coming, and he moved and kicked like he was excited. Then when we got the call to say that they were actually here, we told her 'The cousins are here!' and she moved and kicked some more to say welcome (well that's what we think anyway).

Due to arriving so far ahead of schedule, my twin nieces weren't able to go home from hospital for a while, so that they could learn to breathe and feed without any assistance, so their parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents all had to visit them in hospital. But since they have both been progressing so well, this week they were able to come home! So in response to this wonderful news I thought I'd show you some photos of the peanut's cousins who are now healthy and out of hospital and settling in to their real home.
