Lydia, James, and John went home today!! They each weighed at least 1.8 kg (~4 lbs) and looked great! I got to hold Lydia for the first time yesterday, and she was so tiny. Lydia's parents are Fulani, so I can almost guarantee they won't name her Lydia. (The Fulani are a nomadic cow-herding tribe found all over West Africa, and in Nigeria - at least - they're predominantly Muslim. So my giving her a temporary New Testament name is quite ironic, when you think about it.)
I'll miss my babies. But Elizabeth and Peter are still in the SCBU incubators, and I anticipate seeing them every day for a long time... unless Elizabeth's fever (?malaria) takes her home before her mother does.
