Thread: Squid Finally Home!!!

CONGRATS! So glad to hear everyone doing well. 6-8 hours? How in the bloody hell do you pull that off? When our little one came home, even taking turns, we were happy with 4 hours!!

I got a "onesie" with one of my favorite bands on it (Dropkick Murphys) when she was all of about 8 pounds. Proud papa when the uptight aunts and uncles saw that one.

I should have known better. The memory of a good night's sleep is fading. They will return, one day.

Nimue was weighed by the visiting nurse today & now is 5 pounds 8 ounces! At this rate, she will be overtaking the full termers. What a wonderful girl!

I'm glad to hear she is doing so well. I can see the one thing that hasn't changed thou,,,,SHE IS STILL GORGEOUS!

That is great news that you finally have her home. That has to be a tremdous relief for the both of you. I hope you enjoy every sleepless moment!

Still Gorgeous? She gets more gorgeous every single day. Not to mention more alert & curious & much louder.

We split the nights up so we can both get sufficient sleep. I stay up until 2, or more often 3 & do the changes & feeds. Then Silver takes over for the early mornings. It works quite well because I am a night owl & Silver's an early bird. I was finding that being awakened every 2 1/2 to three hours was messing up my diabetes in a major way. Silver really does not appreciate dealing with a squawking Squid & a twitching Spike simultaneously. We are both still knackered but functioning...

YAY! 500 Posts!

Greetings family!

The Health Visitor came to see Nim today, she is now weighing in at 6lb 4 1/2 oz (2.85kg). The HV also tested Nim's reflexes and she responded extremely well with them all.

So, she is advanced for a newborn (remember we are still two weeks away from her original due date) and she is super advanced for a preemie, yay Nim!

See, now that makes being barfed up on worth while, she's only done it once so far and I can't stop laughing when she pee's on her Daddy at bath time.

We are still trying to get some decent sleep (yeah right!) but things are going great. Now I just have to get my PC fixed, get my cable and net installed and work out what the heck to get Spike for his birthday and it's all good!
