WTG Louise, it is wonderful isn't it when they do things like "normal". I know our little boy was born 8wks early & so many of the Dr's & midwives kept handing out the "now I want you to be prepared that he may be a little slower than others his age at doing things", well all I can say is he is now 3.5yrs & we are still waiting for him to be slow at something!!
I was fully prepared for her to lag behind developmentally, but except for smiling (not till 10 weeks) she has been on target with her age peers, just 2 kilos lighter.
My little NICU/SCN baby is now 10 months old and she is doing really well.Things were pretty rough for the first 4 months but after that she seemed to just jump over those disruptions and has really come along.
She is walking slowly but by herself.
I had a feeling that might have happened when we didn't hear from you for a little while!
How are Ivy & Noah settling in at home? How are the rest of the kids? How are you feeling? When you've got a spare few minutes, you'll have to update us.
Hey Becc,
Everyone is good. We are settling in very slowly. The first night was hell on a stick! It is either getting better or we are all getting used to sleep deprivation!
I am feeling thrilled, amazed, scared, sad and in awe of these tiny little creatures.
The kids are good but are finding it hard to keep their hands away, even when they are asleep. It is a learning experience for all of us, especially me, who has to learn that my almost ten tear olds are quite capable of holding a baby (even my eight year old is full of confidence) and I have to take a deep breath and let them.
More phots just uploaded. They are from yesterday.
I'm glad to hear you are all good. It sounds like the big kids are loving having the bubs home. And I can just imagine you hovering over them while they hold Ivy and Noah!
I hope that the rest of your settling in period goes smoothly...I will be thinking of you and hoping that you can get *some* sleep!
Thanks for the update...stay in touch and keep the piccies coming!
All good here. Seren is 13lb5oz now, and is 8 and half months old. Apparently, when she turns one, they will no longer make any allowances for her being prem anymore! I'm a bit concerned that she's not sitting, crawling etc - but her mental development is fantastic, which is good.
I've started new medication to keep my blood pressure under control which is making me really sleepy - not good, with active baby all day! I wish I could wake myself up a bit more! :shock:
Gwen ~ Seren is doing so well. I wouldn't worry about her not sitting up yet or crawling. Kimberley never rolled and didn't crawl till she was 9 and half months old.
I'm so pleased everyones babies are doing so well.
I now look at Kimberley and can not believe she was born 4lb 13oz she turns 3 next month and i think what happened to that small baby.
Even Alex has done so well he is now 10kilos and was born 3 weeks early.
