Big gap in Posting - good reason

Hi all!

Ian and I got married on 17 December 2006 and welcomed Kiera Kathleen and Ainsley Elizabeth to the Parkin clan on 25 May 2007. Kiera weighed 4lb 10oz and Ainsley was 5lb 14oz. The girls were born at 33 weeks 6 days. Mum had been on sick leave since 22 weeks with some pretty typical multiple birth complications.

After the girls arrival by emergency c-section in Windsor (long story), they stayed in the NICU there for a week until we were all shipped home to London's St. Joseph's hospital. After a day in progressive care, the girls and Mum stayed in the Care by Parent section of the NICU until 18:19hrs on the June 19th when we were finally cleared to come home.

These days we're just living feeding to feeding, enjoying each other, being home and being a family.

I'll start posting for the blog again asap but wanted anyone who checks our posts to know why we've been absent for so long.
