Congratulations, remember to take lots of photos & as soon as you are able get lots of cuddles.
My ds2 was born at 28wks so understand what a worrying time it is but try to enjoy these first few weeks as much as you can, get some rest yourself & I am sure you will be taking your little girl home very soon.
Best wishes xx

Congratulations!! She couldn't wait huh!

laughingtiger · 14/05/2007 12:22

Congratulations mummynat, bet you are going through a hard time. Have you been given any info about Bliss, the premature baby charity? They are really good if you need any info or if you want to talk to other parents who've been through similar experiences - you can chat either on on-line or on the phone. I found that really helpful when my dd was born early, as I felt most of my friends and family couldn't relate to what I was going through. Good luck and hope she's not in hospital too long.

SleeplessInTheStaceym11House · 14/05/2007 12:34

congrats on your little bundle!! she just couldnt wait to meet you!
