Premmie Mums #6

[Raven81]

Kirsty, I'm so sorry to hear that little Gus has not been well lately, I hope he is getting better. How long untill he is off the feeding tube?? It's really not nice when there is nothing you can do to make them well again, I really hate the waiting game.

Thanks Tiff, It was a nice feeling when she finally said "MUM"!! She is such a little star I just can't believe how far prem bubs come along, and so quickly too.
How is Ivy and Noah going???

Hi Trish, was just posting off an email to you when this notification came in ; stand by for longwinded mail! How are your gorgeous boys???

Raven, Ivy and Noah are good thanks. They are both cruising the furniture and they have bumps and bruises everywhere from thinking that they are able to stand on their own. LOL. Poor little munchkins. It's hard when there are so many big kids around and you just want to do what they are doing!
I thought Ivy was coming down with another middle ear infection the other day - she was spiking temps and was grizzly. She is on long term antibiotics for just that until we are able to see the ENT. Anyway, it all subsided. She's still pulling at her right ear (and there are no signs of any teeth) so I am hoping that the antibiotics are doing their job.
So far we have been middle ear infection free for two months YAY! It is so good to have a happy baby!She slept through the night for the first time last Thursday and I thought we had hit the jackpot!!! But alas, it was only a one night wonder. The last few nights we have been up playinng from midnight until 4am. *SIGH* She is very cheeky and her eyes light up when she smiles. She's still pretty petite compared to Noah but has stacked on the weight since she discovered bread!

Noah, my big boofer boy is growing at an enormous rate. At his last checkup with the ECHN, he had grown 6cm!He was about 11.5kgs at last weigh in. He is popping teeth left right and centre and now has eight pearlies, as opposed to his five at Christmas. He has been sleeping through since about the end of October and we moved him the other weekend into his bigboy room. It was sad in a way but nice to have one cherub sleeping at night. Over the last week he has learnt a new word 'car'. Now EVERYTHING is car! It is very cute, especially when he sees his sisters coming and he yells out "CAR CAR CAR" flapping about madly! He used to lie on your shoulder and say 'ug (hug) oh ug'... now he cuddles up to you and says 'car-ar-car' .

IKWYM about looking at our little prems in awe and wonder. When you think about their beginnings and what they are up to now. It truly is amazing.
