A good day! I dropped Bailey off at Childcare this morning and made the daily trip to the hospital. I got a longer parking spot today which was nice as it was a much more relaxed visit. I popped up to see Niamh who was doing really well and went to the coffee morning with some other mums of premmie babies. This is a weekly event run by Bec, our wonderful physio :) Its great to catch up and share war stories with them. We are all having such a unique experience as all of our babies are so different and have different issues, but we can still relate to that long, awful stay in hospital and the daily visits. Im the 'youngest' on the journey as one of the girls has already been here for 19 weeks!!!
I got to have another hold today!!! When I got back at 11, I got to change Niamhs nappy, it took a while as the cheeky little girl was taking her time finishing her business lol! At least the milks digesting now and going through. They are even going to increase the amount she gets from 1ml an hour to 2mls an hour which is great! Lets hope she copes with it. As Niamh had been so stable, I got to have another hold, this time an even longer one! It lasted for about half and hour and would have been longer but I was late for expressing so had to reluctantly put her back. She was soo happy being with me, very relaxed and not stressed at all, it was lovely. I hope I get lots more cuddles!!
We also received a really beautiful gift today from a wonderful friend in Tasmania! Kate knitted a perfect little pair of booties and a matching hat in all the colours of the rainbow!! We absolutely love them! Thank you Kate, you are very talented and kind to think of Niamh's fashion requirements, even at this tender age! xxx

Wow Bon, that is fabulous news!!! Can't believe you got to hold Niamh so long, you must be over the moon. Love the pics, she looks content. Ofcourse she is going to be happy and relaxed, she knows her mummy is holding her.
Good to hear you are getting some IRL support from the other mums, its so important to share the journey with likeminded people.
Lots of growing vibes being sent Niamh's way.
Take care,

OMG my bloody eyes are leaking again! Your post is so positive today - I can 'feel' your strength and Niamhs in your words. She must have been so happy to get so many mummy cuddles today - that's why she was so peaceful for you!!!
Absolutely LOVE those little booties and hat from KATE - what a thoughful gesture and so damn CUTE!!!!
Hope you are starting to see a rd ahead with talking to the other premmie mums, and not quite so bogged down, but I am sure it is still a daunting prospect to look into the distance - again I guess it is those cliched 'baby steps' and one day at a time ;-)
So proud of you and FOR you Binbin - Niamh is truly showing her mummys fighting spirit :-)
PS How is Bailey handling al of this?
thats ace that you got to cuddle your little girl again. Your looking more relaxed as well. And the beanie and booties are ace as well- will really brighten up the crib!
Fabulous news bon about getting a big hold again. So glad she is doing so well.
Love the colours of the hat and booties, well done Kate :)
