    Just jumping in here to say hi.
    I was due end of Oct but our little man came early at 34wks after my waters broke.
    He's currently in the SCN but doing so well. Hoping he is home within the next 2wks.

    Look forward getting to know you all

    Hi Cheshire.

    Just thought I'd join in. My ds2 was born on the 17th September, 2 days past his due date, via a home water birth. So far we seem to be settling fairly well into a family of 4.

    Sorry to hear your little one is in scn. Here's hoping he improves in leaps and bounds and can come home with you soon.

    Thanks WM
    My little man was born on the 18/9.

    He's doing pretty good, we are having suck feeds now when he demands it & he latches on so well.
    We just need for him to gain weight & be off tube feeds & hopefully he can come home!

    I'm not In a fb thingo. I was wondering if I was missing anything on here but obviously not.

    How's your bubba going? We have our 8 week check at health centre today so it will be interesting to see what growth my little man has had.

    I tell you what. I had forgotten how much time a baby zaps up. My house is revolting. It's a comedy of half done chores at the moment lol.

    T is doing really well, being 6wks early has not caused him any real issues which is great.
    He's gaining weight really well, he's around 4kg now & is 8wks tomorrow.

    My house is also a huge mess, between school, kinder, playgroup & looking after 4 kids i don't have time to keep up with the housework.

    That's awesome that he is doing so well. Is he home now?

    I know what you mean about running around after other kids etc. I keep hoping that I will come home one day and the cleaning fairies have been lol.

    I just had a thought. Are you by chance wanting some 00000 clothes? I have a box full that were hardly worn. We had been told that I had iugr and that wills estimated weight was only 2kg so we bought premmie clothes and then he was a whipping 3.3kg! Lol. It's just sitting here going to waste. I could drop if off to you some stage next week OR I live not far from fountain gate if you are ever in the area.

    Awesome! Just lemme know when suits for me to drop them off or if you are going to be near fg at any stage I live on the other side of the monash to fg.

    On another note, I am feeling rather accomplished today. I have managed a shower and a load of washing and a load of dishes in the washer. Lets see if I can get the floor swept or clothes put away now the little man is sleeping......
