What a difference nine days makes! Last Thursday we moved to a new hospital to finish growing and learning how to eat. The ambulance ride was our first outing, and everyone just slept. The most exciting news is that they are finally in a crib together and interacting with one another. Rhys is 2448g and Harlo is 2906g. Both are feeding by gravity flow when not trying bottling or nursing - no more pumps!!

We loved BC Women's and Childrens', but St. Paul's is wonderful too. The commute is longer (50 min vs. 10 min) but (1) we get more exercise walking to it, (2) we get to spend time together during the commute, (3) bus tickets are cheaper than gas, and (4) Harlo and Rhys love it there. The nurses are just amazing - spending 45min to an hour each time helping us with bottling and nursing.

  1. Holy Red Sirens and Flashing Lights! You made a terrific move to get your family home soon. Good work, kids. It sounds like everything is falling into place for all of you. That is super. We are so, so happy for everyone. We can't wait to meet the little critters in August. Keep the pictures and news coming. We check everyday. Love and hugs to everyone. Sally & Jeanne
