Amazingly the midwives and hospital staff were so pleased with how the delivery had gone they said we could bring the twins home within a matter of hours of their birth.

So, after a hearing check and the all-clear from the pediatrician we were all able to come home. We’d been concerned about possible jealousy arising from Monty and had made several preparations to avert this. One of these was that we gave him the Roary the Racing Car presents which Tilly and Scott had got especially for him. He was extremely grateful and thanked them both before insisting we took them home so he could play with them - the cars that is.

He did spend a fair amount of time looking at them, stroking their faces gently and comparing their tiny hands against his much bigger ones.

He’s still at the curious stage and isn’t too sure about them so we’re trying to make him feel extra special for having a little sister and brother. I’m having photos printed of the twins and all of us coming home so he can show them to his friends at nursery school.

So far, the twins haven’t fed much, they haven’t been awake much, and they seem pretty chilled out. It’s obviously a very good sign and I expect this behaviour to last forever. Right?
