Our baby was born last saturday at 34 weeks with IUGR which meant he only weighed 2lb 12 oz...
He is an amazing little boy and seems to be doing well. I managed to express loads of milk but frustratingly they have to feed him very slowly and increase the amount he eats really gradually to stop him getting NEC.
Me and OH are doing ok but tonight it got a bit overwhelming leaving him in a plastic box whilst we went home. It feels like its going to be a really long haul and I'm also terrified that he's going to suffer long term consequences from this...
Can't wait to have him home so we can hold him whenever we want instead of just an hour a day...
