 For
those who don't know the full story of how Jack and Kitty came
to be born so early see below.
Jack
and Kitty
were born on Wednesday 28th August 2002, at 9.15pm and 9.16pm
respectively,
in the Singleton Hospital, Swansea, Wales.
Why
Wales you may ask? Well, Paddy and Jo were on holiday in Tenby
at the time. They were enjoying a day on the beach when Jo complained
of having stomach pains. Paddy decided to drive her to the nearest
hospital at Carmarthen. Here Jo was told that she was in labour,
the hospital didn't have the facilities to deal with her there
and she would have to be transferred to the nearest big hospital
(SWANSEA).
After a white knuckle ride in an ambulance they arrived at Swansea
where Jo was whisked into theatre and the babies were born by
emergency caesarean.
Although the twins were born 13 weeks early, (Jack weighed 2lb.3oz,
Kitty 2lb.6oz.) they are receiving expert care around the clock.
It has been a big shock to all concerned, especially Paddy and
Jo, but the twins are fighters and are progressing slowly.
Jack and Kitty are beautiful babies, Kitty being the more active
of the two, while Jack is the sleeper.
Paddy and Jo have spent nearly three weeks in a family room
on the ward. But now that the twins have been moved to Southampton
they can return to their home and a bit of comfort!
