Hey Guys it Sally here (tummy mummy),

Sal is the one who normally posts on here but as l have the computer in hospital with me she has not been able to and l know you have all been wondering what is going on with us.

I wanted to firstly say we are still here (25 weeks today)!!! Then l wanted to thank you all for your love and support as my beautiful family go through this very scary time as we prepare for our second NICU journey.

Things are seeming to go along nicely. Very uneventful so far which is wonderful. I haven't had any leaks since Monday and no pains at all which is promising. I am on hospital bedrest but can sit in the chair in the corner, shower & toilet, and sit/lie on my bed.

I am fine - coping well with the hospital stay - just missing my family like crazy. Its good that l enjoy my own company - l haven't had a chance to be bored yet am quite enjoying my quiet time - just wish that l could play with Charlie if l have that much spare time!!!! I think Sal would definately be going stir crazy by now - she gets bored a lot quicker than l do so its lucky that she is looking after Charlie and not here. I feel so lucky to have her in my life she is an amazing wife and mumma and l know that Charlie is in really good hands with her - just wish she wasn't having to behave like a single parent at the moment and look after Charlie on her own and deal with the stress of having me in here.....

I am going to have another ultrasound next week if l am still here to check the cervical length. Just hoping and praying for some more time..... Had a bad day yesterday when the head of Neonatology came to speak to me. Told me the complications we would be looking at if the baby came in the next week or so. I know the 28 week journey and know that it is much better than 24-28weeks so we have been focusing on getting to 28 weeks. I hadn't really thought about much else other than wanting to get to 28 weeks. Now l can't stop thinking of the complications we might face if our baby arrives before 28weeks.

All l want is to bring our baby home - l know there is a chance that we might not, l didn't think l could cope with a disability prior to now, but l know that as long as he comes home we will cope with anything else.

Keep thinking of us and praying for our goal of 28 weeks. Once we get there we can hope for longer but at the moment, each day l wake up pregnant l am happy and every week l will be ecstatic.
