Hi Guys,
Sorry for the delay in updating, been busy all day as you will appreciate. What can i say she is tiny but perfect
, she seems to be feeding well through the tub going into her stomach so much so she had used both bodily functions.
My wife got to hold her, do some skin to skin and things were going so well they tried to see if she would start feeding. She tried doing it pretty well but my wife is not yet expressing, its good however as they gave here a passifier type thing to stimulate it and she was having none of it so this is a positive sign. Other than that she hates being disturbed the disgruntled head on her when she is changed or anything, i can tell from this that her lungs are developing wow.
My wife is on the mend also, she was up and about for a bit today and we got her all cleaned up. We are hoping she will be allowed out by the end of the week but i suppose not to soon as we dont want to leave baby in hospital on her own at the same time.
Hoping both of them will be out in the next 2 weeks.
Good luck to the rest of you guys 0 -

My GP checked last week to see if the head was engaged yet but it's not, I found the checking itself was actually quite sore so I'm in for a rough ride!
Finally got down to packing my labour and hospital bag, still need to figure out how to squish a few more items in there but I feel more organised that I was.
Received my letter from the maternity benefit section back today, feels like I sent it a long time ago, they leave it quite late to reply don't they? this Monday is 2 weeks will be my first proper day off on Maternity leave! Really looking forward to it as am having very restless nights sleep so it will be great to not have to get up to any schedule in the mornings!
actually i still didnt get anything back about my maternity pay! hmm wonder should i ring!!
i still havnt my bag packed but i do have a few items ready on the spare bed and have baby clothes ready to be washed so this week is it! back to my doc tomorrow and im thinking he might sign me off. ill be 35 weeks thursday.
if only starting maternity leave would mean no early mornings or schedules for me! dont think my 21 month old would be up for that! but it does mean that i get to spend more time with her and she is great craic!

a quick question ladies, I have 3 weeks to go and I have been having a pain in my right ribs it has been on and off for a few days, I am thinking it might be the babys bum putting pressure on my ribs, is anyone else experiencing anything similar?
Get used to it for the next few weeks. Its just pressure so dont sit in the same position for too long. Lying down or walking around helps 0 -

i am also excited though for E to meet her new sibling and us our new baby. just hope everything goes ok.
