Hi girls,

Kirsty, yep, I joined Austprem but haven't had the courage to post there. There alot of ex24 - 25 weekers there and my ex 30 weekers don't seem so premmie when I read their stories.
There has been alot of posting about a premmieplus magazine, which I am interested in but everytime I go to the site, it is down.
How is your little guy going anyway? I remember when you first posted about his birth and I was so amazed.

Racca, so good to hear that your little man is doing well. Good to hear of his great weight gain.

Carrie, Ivy is just under 5kgs and Noah is over 6.5kgs! I think he is just a boofer boy. He's not overweight, infact runs along the 5th centile for his birth age and along the average for his corrected age, it's just that Ivy seems so little compared to him and she doesn't settle well during the day, she just takes little 20 minute catnaps. That's why I'm wondering whether the BF is not giving her enough...silly I know because she has plenty of wet nappies and she IS growing and I have all the midwifery education under my belt but I find myself second guessing myself all the time with her. It's weird, all my confidence has gone out the window.
I haven't spoken to the paed yet, I will though. We are still behind in our 4 month needles because they have both had a cold and now it's school holidays and the thought of dragging seven kids into the doctors rooms is very daunting!
