well I think I have been lurking far too much and wanted to get involved so I'll try and post more!!
sounds like you are all doing fab and the little ones are gorgeous!
I posted loads in my last overdue weeks of pregnancy then kinda stopped. I htink the reason is prob that Owen was quite ill and we had quite a time of it, sitting down and explaining it all was too much for me to do! -I'll briefly explai now though
he got impetigo at 1 week old-pus filled spots all over his face, I had infection in section scar, was in bed for 4 days with fever. Antiviotics cleared Owen's spots but then he had massive pus build up under hi right check which was red and bulging, 3cm long, 1cm wide. more antibiotics didnt clear it, had 3 days in childrens waard with iv antibiotics. swab of him and me (my scar became infected again after seemed to heal) revealed we both had mrsa. sounded v scray at time but just another type of staph bacteria that causes these infections. Home with 3 types of antiobiotics and repeat swab showed it had gone. phew, thats about it! seems a LONG time ago now. but infact only really a few weeks. owen now 8 weeks old and doing great through it all he was pretty well and the infection was only superficial. he still has a little mark and hardening under his skin on the right side but fading well.
