    Great to hear he is doing well! The nurses in NICU kept asking me if I had GD, but I didn't... Tristan was just a big boy! hehe We were lucky with Tristan, because he was my second and he was so big he was allowed out of SCN on day 6 and transferred to my local hospital so I could stay with him and they let us come home on day 8 with very strict instructions hehe and they fully discharged him when he was 11 days old. He would have been home earlier, but he had Jaundice.

    I will look for your BS now

    Welcome, Teresa.

    It constantly blows me away to hear about these earlier bubs way bigger than my 36-weeker, especially when my nursery went on about how big Sam was for his gestation - which he really wasn't! Did Hamish have blood sugar issues, Teresa? We had a lot of trouble with Sam's blood sugar levels in the early days, no GD here, but severe insulin resistance.
