    Sally - weigh ins can be hard. I have no wonder words of advice for you but know that we are here for you. How did you go at the doctors?

    Beema - WTG Nakita & mummy! I hate it with doctors when they just basically confirm everything I have said LOL. I also wish the dolls felt more accurate even though they are correct weight.

    BW - I found Caitin's EDD really hard... I have no idea how I will cope towards her first birthday and EDD again this year - time will tell. I hope that the doll is able to bring you some closure. It did for me, I'm one of the mums that needs to remember how small she was. I think Sam is doing beautifully, he is a very happy little boy and very keen to show off his walking abilities!

    Sally2 - fingers crossed you get reprive from the hospital runs this year

    Heavenly -

    Leesa - I agree... it is good to see so many happy, healthy prems.

    Nickers - thank you sharing Nixon's story.

    Rhyb - due dates are terribly hard. Glad to hear you are getting plenty of sleep.

    BR - Glad to hear DS is doing well. Wow that is a lot of information for you to take in. I am at a loss for words.

    AFU - DD is doing very well. We went to the ECHN last week with DP who was not at work for the day. DD weighs 6.7kg now (50th %), 62cm long (25th %), and HC is 41cm (25th%). The ECHN said with her responses and progress she is very similar to a FT baby - and that whilst we still can't discount her being prem, she is doing really well. I cried... couldn't help it. It just felt so different to the constant issues with her weight when she was in hospital... the huge fuss they made over a 20gm loss in 2 days etc... to finally be told something good without the "mmm how is she going for corrected age" comments was just such a relief.

    TK - WOW she is doing so awesome!!!

    BR - I'm really sorry for the way you were treated, I hope that the hospital changes their ways to prevent it happening to another.

    *ETA* Dr's went ok... I have an umbilical hernia (I had with Tristan and it hasn't gone done) and need surgery to have it fixed.

    Oh BR I am astounded to read how you were treated, you have me in tears, no one should be treated like that I hope that things work out for you, I am just in shock to read what happened, you are an amazing woman and mother and Seth would be so very proud of you and what you have done.

    In time your own time can come back in and say hi.

    Wow TK Caitin is doing really well, you must be so proud

    Ooohhh I hope it goes really Well Sal and the Brendan can really move forwards

    Serenity sounds like she is doing beautifully HM4

    Thankyou all for sharing your stories, it was amazing to hear how all these precious prems came into the world

    AFus: DD has been sick again and ended up in hospital with and NGT as she hadn't anything to eat or drink for a couple of days and had temps over 39 degrees and no matter what we tried we couldn't get any fluids or pain meds into her. She is home now and has since come out in a rash. The Dr's think that it may have been to do with her 18 month chicken pox vaccination, some kind of viral infection. Apparently the rashes come out at the end of it. We had dry nappies until this morning (which only had a tiny bit in it, but she decided to drink some milk this morning and she had a bit more this afternoon, so enough to keep her at home. She isn't eating very much and mostly just plays with the food but that will come when she feels better. She lost 800grams, but that will come back in time.

    She is now walking by herself, she started the day before she got sick, but she hasn't done it since, but I am sure she will in a few more days

    Have a great weekend everyone xxoo
