The day we went to the hospital
Thursday: Lunch at a Chinese restaurant, then Max and Nim played Blackjack in the Casino.
Nok and I pat Nim's huge Buddha-like belly.
Thursday evening in the hospital: All the birthing suites are full, the doctors busy, we have to wait..... but you can do a lot of stuff with rubbergloves to entertain youself....
Friday evening: we finally got a birthing suite! Not a bad view either.
Saturday (9th of April) morning 5:09 am: Justin is having his first cuddle on Mommy's chest. Both twins were born with the help of forceps (Geburtszangen) and you could see the marks on their heads for about 3 days, but as they were positioned perfectly everything went quite smoothly.
Little Jason's first cry at 5:37! They were born after 37 1/2 weeks of pregnancy (40 weeks are "full term", but for twins no more then 38 weeks are advised) and are pretty big for twins!
Justin sleeping peacefully Saturday afternoon.
Both twins have a lot of hair already, as I was told is quite usual with Asian babies.
Justin already came home Tuesday afternoon. Debbie is feeling very responsible in her role as Nanny and comes running in looking worried every time little Justin makes a noise.
Justin, day 3.
Jason had to stay in an Incubator (Brutkasten) for 4 days (on the right), but is out now. They are still watching his blood sugar levels - but
by tomorrow (Friday) he should be able to come home!
