      Charlotte; thank you. The girls are so small, I'd forgotten how small new babies can be.

      Andrew; ours were a scheduled caesarean delivery and the mother is very relieved to have the weight off her pelvic bones, since both girls were laying quite low.

    I've not been on the computer much these past couple of days, so I've only just discovered the news...news I visited your blog to see if the girls had made their appearance.

    How wonderful...I'm happy for you, River. Great news, my dear. :)

      Lee; I am very happy myself. I keep looking at the photos on my phone and grinning. My son looks so proud holding his tiny daughter, while their mum is holding the slightly bigger girl.

kitchen tip #?????

Not exactly environmentally friendly...... Line the base of your oven with a sheet of aluminium foil.

It's much easier to throw away a sheet of foil (once it's been spilled on a few dozen times), than it is to scrub off baked on spillovers.
