we are out of here.

On Christmas Eve Michelle Jacob and Sienna had impressed everyone at Kew Hospital enough to be discharged. Even though we had wanted to get home it was a big step to leave behind the exceptional care from the staff at Kew and walk out the doors for home. After a lot of deciding on what was to be worn for the trip home the kids were loaded into their double barreled pram and wheeled out for their last goodbyes to the staff who were on duty. Sadly, not all the staff got to see the kids leave or for us to be able to thank them all but Michelle and I plan to head back to keep the friendships that we have made over our long stay.
Both Jacob and Sienna have progressed well and our lives now seem to work in four hour cycles. Michelle continues to feed the kids well and the only time the kids are bottle fed are at 4am so Michelle can continue to sleep. Dealing with two kids and two bottles at the same time takes some coordination which I'm yet to master completely. I some times wonder if they are absorbing as much as they are swallowing.
The kids routine is amazingly settled and they seem to be able to wake within minutes of their time whether Michelle and I are ready or not. Both kids enjoy their time on the floor together and even look for each other while feeding and playing. Although not alot of work gets done outside of the house, our days seem to be reasonably busy and any time to catch up on some sleep is sort after.
