Wow! You two are doing so well. Will be lovely to hear that Heidi has cracked the 1kg mark. Yay for Mummy milk!

Glad to hear test results were negative.

WooHoo on almost reaching the 1kg mark

and you're doing a great job with supply of EBM.

Hope Heidi continues to move ahead in leaps & bounds.

Heidi tipped the scales last night at 1030g!!!!!! Yay for the 1kg milestone. What a fatty!!! So that means she's put on a quarter of her original birthweight. And her central line did come out today so she's exclusively on EBM now.

We took DPs brother & wife in to see her tonight, they we just amazed and so happy to meet her. I stayed in the family room with DS and their little girl - somehow I've managed to lose my voice and get a bit throaty so I'm staying at arms length for a couple of days which is very hard. Gives me an excuse to rest up at home - DP had today off and will tomorrow as well, so he's got DS under control while I catch up on some much needed sleep in between expressing. He's my rock right now I don't know where I'd be without him.

Goodnight all x

Fantastic news!! WTG Heidi.

Rest up Hun. I know how difficult it is when illness keeps you away from your little one

Thinking of you xx

Oh wow! I remember well how excited I was when Immy reached the kilo mark - such a wonderful milestone! Big cuddles darling Mama - you're doing so well.

Thoughts and prayers are with you, your DH and Heidi as her little body fights this challenge.

I hope all the strength and weight she gained from your wonderful milk so far holds her in good stead over the next little while.

Scary times

She's a strong one though infinity. Will be thinking of you and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Great weight gain Miss Heidi :-) Great work expressing Mumma!!! Keep it up.

I'm sooooo glad to hear she and the other little boy tested negative, that must be a huge relief?
