Hi Louise,

I know what you mean about looking at their first premmie clothes - I pulled out some of Josh's first little suits the other day (00000's) and I held them up against him...the feet in the suits only reach as far as his knees now!! I can't believe how much he has grown.

Can I ask how you went about finding child care for Maria? What type of care is she going into? How are you feeling about her first day? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really interested as I may have to do the same for Josh. At this stage, my DH and I are hoping to work our shifts around each other (so that we work opposite days) and share his care between ourselves but that may not work out and I need to explore the alternatives...

How is Maria going with her swimming lessons? Where do you take her? I'm looking at doing the same with Josh, I just have to find somewhere locally that I can take him.
