Guys, i think i may share this wonderful news

Yesterday, my wife delivered a twin boys at 9.40am and 9.50 am... they are prematured by 1.5 months and are held in NICU right now.... the elder ,came out first weighted 1.3 kg while the brother,10 minutes later at 1.8 kg....

i got a mix feelings with excited and worried... the mother are doing ok.... and miraculously she could do it normally when the specialist that took her case told us it will be on cesarean birth...

Cheers,

Zaidi

That is great news Zaidi.

Congratulations on twins. I am sure they will be a little more challenging than one new baby but sometimes it makes it easier down the road.

We know you will be a busy guy for a long time to come. Thanks for letting us know about your big news!

Cheers,
Jim

Congratulations Zaidi on the birth of your children. Give our best to the Missus as well. Glad things went well, and hope they are released soon in good health.
I suppose this is good bye as well! See you in about 16 years time

Zaida

I am really pleased to hear of your fantastic news and hope the your wife and the boys are doing fine. Our own latest addition (a boy called Arron) is just 4 weeks old, so I know how proud you will be of your wife. It is amazing what they go through to bring such bundles of joy into the world.

Hope the boys go from strength to strength and that you and your wife are able to give them cuddles at home very soon. If you get a chance it would be good to see a photo of the boys.

All the very best to you and your wife from bonnie Scotland

Congrats, Zaidi! Twins are a real blessing as well as a lot of work! I also have twin boys who were born premature - almost the same as yours in weight and time of arrival. They were in the NICU for 16 stressful days. Now they are pushing 3.5 years and running wild around the house! They are best friends and fill our home with joy!

Enjoy every minute of it!

Guys,

thanks for all the wishes..... the mother was just discharged from the hospital... but both boys are still held in NICU.... both are doing just fine except being prematured they are still unable to breathe normally and they're still below the weight (they should be above 1.8 kg) ... but docs said they're ok and progressing ..

so i have to do lot of trouble back n forth from the hospital.

Wife say hi to all and thanks for the wishes... babies are still nameless .. we were expecting girls but in turn out to be boys, so we are still searching for better name... for twins, it's really hard...really cracked my self thinking of a pair of good names...

once again, thanks guys........... will sure to update u guys

Congradulations Zaidi, I hope you all get to go home soon and start the children getting used to they're new home and all the new things around them...including you. Start buying big packs of diapers and wipes now my friend-

Oh...tell the wife to nap when the kids do the 1st couple of weeks !

Zaidi, congradulations and welcome to fatherhood, and motherhood for the missus, As we all know, those of us who are parents, your time for the hobby will be limited but, very well worth it. Your news brought back memories of my daughter sitting on my lap at the art desk and all those silly questions and wanting to help. Wouldn't trade those memories for anything. Best of luck to you, the missus and your new family, from me and my better half.

A little late but enjoy it and take a bunch of pics.

I will trade you a grown one for two little ones already potty trained and all.

Soon house will be full of toys but none for you.


Cheers

Congrats and best wishes!! I'm glad and grateful they're out of NICU and look so good. Enjoy them every second you can; time flies and before you know it they'll be off to university or life (mine are 23 and almost 22-my wife and I keep wondering where the time went).
