What a beautiful baby girl. Doubled her birth weight! She's so lucky to have such a positive thinking Mummy.

So pleased to hear how well she is doing Smile

Orchidflower1 · 24/08/2019 20:10

Thank you for the updates. She’s a little treasure- well done!

mommato3 · 24/08/2019 20:28

Oh wow would you just look at the chin ❤️❤️

When I first read your initial post I wasn't expecting to see you'd gone into full blown labour but here she is, very beautiful and what a fighter. Beautiful updates. Had me welling up! Keep fighting Saydee and well done momma for staying so strong and positive. You've got this. Both of you. Will definitely be watching for updates ❤️❤️

She's doing really well wasn't managing her feeds last week she wasn't well at all but she's 3.1lbs now she needs a operation to reverse her stoma in a few weeks I'm so scared but she needs it done to absorb salts and everything

I'm currently shopping for her now lol because she decided to come early before I had a chance to get everything in lol but my maternity pay drops soon because she's 10 weeks on Friday so I'm stressing about what buggy to get her there are so many beautiful buggy's to choose from I'm like aw I love that one then I'm like no that's the one honestly I found it Easier picking my wedding dress than her buggy lol 😂 iv been advised to get her a compact cot because of her size ext but she's going to be on oxygen to so I'll have to get her obviously a strong buggy with a sturdy basket for her oxygen but I don't want a big bulky on too had anyone had a prem baby on oxygen and what buggy did you choose x

She's beautiful Bethany - I hope you're so proud of yourself and Saydee for being such a pair of fighters! I know a Sadie who was born at 25 weeks - she's now 2, and you wouldn't know any of her early struggles now just looking at her. You're an incredible, strong mum xx

Hi, hope you and your beautiful daughter are well! You popped into my thoughts this morning Smile I'm currently 27 weeks and find your strength amazing

Good luck Flowers

Saydee is beautiful, Bethany. I had been following your story but lost it when I came in to hospital to have my twins 2 weeks ago so it’s lovely to see your updates. I wanted to let you know that her weight is brilliant for her gestation - my ‘little’ twin (the reason we were admitted and they were delivered at 34 weeks was due to him not growing very well) weighed 3lb 6.5oz so, for Saydee to be over 3lb after coming so many weeks earlier is a fantastic weight!!

ohdearymemumof3 · 06/09/2019 21:30

What a strong pair you are 😍💗 i bet you cant wait to bring her home it will be so precious 💗xx

Stravapalava · 06/09/2019 21:34

Bless her. I work with neonates, love them. Saydee seems to be getting on really well, little fighter Star

Grandmi · 06/09/2019 22:18

Bethany....you are amazing and Sade is so lucky to have you for her Mummy!!! Keep fighting both of you ...you are a great team :))

She's stunning. She's almost recognisable from the photos 2 months ago. What a fighter. x

She and you are incredible.

Re the buggy-did you get one? My friend’s baby needed oxygen and she used a bugaboo donkey.
