Well, the twins are officially 2 days old now, and this is Camille’s third night in hospital. I must say that I’m constantly impressed at how good the staff on the Jane Crookall at Nobles Hospital. All the staff have been great, from the doctors and midwives, all the way down to the support staff that keep the place ticking. I must say, I haven’t had that much exposure to hospitals, but one thing I did notice was how much packaging goes around medical equipment. I guess it’s the need to keep things sterile, but it’s quite surprising just how many packages and wrappings have to be opened up (and discarded) to get anything done. I guess that’s one of the costs of healthcare really, making sure you’re using equipment that’s up to scratch for the job.

Anyway, I guess it’s soon time to plan our return home, as everything is proceeding relatively smoothly. We’ll have to see when they let us go back home.
