Good afternoon all!

Big hello to everyone! Nice to see you again Ella_Bear!

AJC: What Caiden's has written is spot on and I understand your reasons for leaving.....I too have thought about pulling the plug for similar reasons. So I have decided not to journey or post outside of this thread, especially since I have made some parenting decisions that don't sit well out there in the big BB world and are often the target for critism......having said that, it seems to be a select few and ALL the girls in this thread have been absolutely supportive and non-judegemental....which is why I will continue to post here. Like Shanti has written in her sig.... Why can't we all just focus on mothering our babies rather than who's doing what and who's using what! I see our thread as a celebration of the wonderful things our precious babies are doing and a place for support and advice. I just wanted to say thank YOU for sharing your journey with us, it certainly was quite different from the journeys that most of us took (premmie bub and all), and to wish you and your family the best of luck in the real world. Please take care and spoil your precious Sam with plenty of hugs and kisses. xx PS Happy 7 months to Sam!
Orange : Could not have said it better myself, well written!! - and yes i totally agree (although i have been slack in posting here ) the ladies in this group have been truly wonderful and it has been lovely to journey with all of you from pregnancy to birth and to read up on the posts about your beautiful bubbas

AFM: Ella keeps me on my toes and i never thought i could have so much love for one person - She is coming along in leaps and bounds, has been on solids since 4.5 mths and has cut the bottom middle tooth with the one next to it just starting to rear its head so needless to say i have one very grumpy bubba on my hands atm!

a BIG to everyone and its lovely to see all your bubbas are doing so well
