Thanks for your feedback Fiona and Melinda - it is wonderful to hear that you are proud grown up prems; this is my wish for my daughter Emily too!
She has shown a little uncomfortableness recently when looking through her baby record book and her newborn photos showed her with bandages and medical equipment, but I guess that is just because she has no recollection of that and she asked me why in those photos she was "sore"? I was fascinated with that reaction as her brother, who was two when she was born and is now four, has never reacted at all to the medical stuff or her prematurity - just bursting with excitement over his baby sister. The way they run around playing and laughing together you would never imagine how dangerously early she came into this world and all that she overcame in the early weeks. She has just had a comprehensive 2yo assessment by a paed and psych and her report says they are delighted with her growth and development and everything is normal. That letter came in the mail today and it was a delight to read! I've been bragging about it to anyone who will listen.
Thanks again girls for your beautiful replies
