Definitely worthy of a celebration, she has come such a long way! I'm sure the nurses in SCN will appreciate a cake to celebrate. Love that first bath... :loveshower:

100 days is a huge milestone, of course you should celebrate it! Our 100 dayers at the Mercy used to get special handmade quilts to go onto the open cots the babies were in, and often the nurses would make a card or poster with footprints & photo's from the babies stay.
Congrats on your bath too!!
Woohoo at the bath!! I'm sure Heidi smells just beautiful now.
You are doing so well with the bfing and I hope you get to demand feeds soon. Sounds like she's really stepping up with the weight gain. :clap:
Looking forward to hearing more positive news soon - you should celebrate the 100 day mark!
Oh that's so exciting :leap:
it's like the steam train express to bringing that gorgeous bundle of love home!!!
A massive woohoo to Heidi's first real bath :dance: it's little things like this that truly bring a smile to your face.
100 days! What a milestone, definitely a day to celebrate :birthday2: In saying that, I spent most of the day in tears, tears of joy that DS had made it that far. Walking into the SCN at 4.30am for a BF, I was surprised at what I saw. The nurses had decorated the ceiling above his cot with balloons and streamer he even received cards and gifts.
To celebrate 100 days and to thank the staff for everything they had done for DS and our family, we brought them in some platters of cold cut meats & cheeses, turkish bread & dips, hot finger foods, fruit and not to forget cake and chocolates.
Infinity, be proud! Your precious little one has put up an amazing fight and has come so far. The light is getting brighter and the smiles on your face so much more.
Enjoy Saturday! :hug: You will all be in my thoughts :hug:

Well today we marked DDs 100-day-old milestone with her first adventure outside in the sunshine. DP, DS & I all walked into the nursery to see a great big 100 day plaque at her cot, with a card and certificates for her and us for getting to 100 days. It was so lovely of the staff, they've been amazing. And now that she's off all monitoring we took her down the courtyard at the hospital with duck ponds & beautiful gardens and FINALLY got her into some fresh air & sunshine. It was lovely to have that little bit of freedom and see her taking it all in. Had some photos of all of us and watched DS run around and play too. He was somewhat disinterested in her, and more interested in the ponds LOL! Not surprising! Took her back to the nursery for another lovely breastfeed and spent some time relaxing with her. Its been a great day.
Her weight has plataeued somewhat over the last few days but they're not too concerned. She has a few more tests coming up this week to rule out any more bowel issues too then I think they'll start planning when to reverse her stomas. We still have a few weeks ahead of us and TBH I really don't know where I'm going to muster the energy from to keep going. I am truly almost spent. But we have come this far, we just need to keep on going for a wee bit longer.
I was in tears of joy for you reading about your little girl's special day, it must have been wonderful to take her out in the sunshine. Wishing you the best for the next few weeks, to find the strength to make it to the end of this very difficult time and take your beautiful girl home to your family xxxx
What a fabulous day! She's doing so well :hug:
What a fantastic day :D I'm so pleased you were able to get her outside too :)
Sending lots of strength :hug:
That is brilliant Infinity!! What a huge step & how you have all come in those 100 days.:
After 100 days I'm sure you are :hug:. I hope you can draw a bit more strength to see you through these next few weeks. This a marathon you never anticipated, I'm willing you on the best you can do. xx:
100 days is looonnggg babe...wow, no wonder you are t.i.r.e.d. and no doubt now that Heidi is on the mend and almost ready to come home that exhaustion from those 100 days is really starting to hit as you begin to mentally relax ITMS. you're body/mind is feeling safer so now is the time that it all hits...:hug:
what a lovely way to celebrate her 100 days!! love love love the sunshine!
Such a massive milestone for a precious little baby girl!
Keep holding on hun, I know you will - and you know too. I can't wait for you to be able to take Miss H home and settle into a family life :)
What a beautiful way to mark Heidi's 100 days! So glad you had a great day :D
:hug: I so know how you are feeling atm :hug: 100 days is a long time. One foot in front of the other Hun and before you know it you will be walking out the door with your gorgeous little miracle in your arms heading for home.
100 days :hug:
What a truely amazing 100 days it has been, we have celebrated all the the highs and surrounded you with prayers, sent all the strength we have during the difficult and dark moments, and throughout the whole time you have been such an inspiration. You have shared all of the raw emotions that you have experienced, in the months and years down the track when you sit back and read this journey of Heidi's you will be amazed to read how you did it. You have shown that it is ok to breakdown, that you don't have to be a pillar of strength every single day, and that you can get through it.
Thankyou for sharing such a personal experience, I am glad you have had a place where you can come and vent, seek support and celebrate, we will be with you right to the very end of your NICU journey and I know that they day Miss Heidi come's home there will not be a dry eye on BB.
Take care and that light is getting brighter :D
xxoo
:hooray:
Happy 100 days Heidi!
In Korea they mark 100 days for all babies with a special little ceremony. Your little trip outside sounds just perfect :hug:
:cheer: What a lovely way to celebrate her 100th day! I hope it won't be long before you'll be celebrating her homecoming. :hug:
Take care of yourself, hope you're finding some time to recharge.
WOW! I have just read through all you posts Infinity! You are amazing as is you family and especially you little Heidi, she sounds amazing! Congratulations on the 100day old milestone, I can't wait to hear about her getting more and more breastfeeds and coming home!
