Thanks Melssy, and welcome! I'm new to this thread myself Chase is 2 months old now and he is gaining weight like a champ. Got him weighed last week and he was 5kg!

Congratulations on the birth of your little boy, having a baby come early is the biggest shock. Was it a very stressful birth for you? I remember not being stressed as I wasn't sure exactly what it meant to have him born at 34 weeks, because no one was freaking out I thought it was a normal kind of early. It wasn't until after that I found out that it was early and not everyone had babies this early. So the whole birth process for me (well c-section) was very calm, the staff were joking with me to make me laugh etc. I got the shock after the birth and even then it took a couple of days to sink in.

I can't even really tell he was early now that he is all filled out. He still doesn't really focus and smile right at me though he does small little grins when he is waking up or going to sleep while looking at me. Dr's said that he could take a little longer to do things like huge happy smiles which is fine with me, I'm just happy to have him and if he wants to take longer to give me a great big smile thats fine. I think corrected age he's just over 2 weeks so he's doing very well
