Hi all,

Just to let you know, the twins arrived 5 weeks early on 16th July by c-section, weighing in at:
Lowri Ceinwen 5lb 4oz
Eleri Gwen 4lb 15oz

We've only just got home from hospital as the girls had some trouble feeding, dropped a lot of weight and ended up with nasal gastric tubes, but are fine and dandy now

Just off to get a pic put on my profile...

Eleri is pronounced ell-eh-ree, with the stress on the second not first 'e'

(it shouldn't sound one letter short of "celery" when said!)
