Lots of photos for you today! We went to see Niamh this afternoon and put on her new dress from her nanny and she looked beautiful! She was still a bit unstable and but also very active.
We just had a call from the hospital, they wanted to let us know that Niamh has been agitated and unstable. They have put her on anti-biotics and stopped her feeds as there is a small risk she has an infection. Our poor girl hasn't had the best week (and nor have we actually) but hopefully by jumping on the earliest sign of mischief, we can avoid it developing into anything worse.
I really hope she doesn't have an infection. The plan when we left today was to fatten her up for a week and try to get her off the ventilation again in a weeks time. At this rate, it will be even longer. I cant stand all this forwards and backwards, I just want her to lie low, get bigger and stronger and come home. Wish it was that simple.
We were introduced to a new couple in the NICU.They had twins four days ago and were still getting their heads around things. It was really nice to talk to them and made me realise how far we have come in such a short amount of time.
Niamh's iron on clothing tattoos are getting a few comments :) They are such a good size for premmie clothing so I will pass on the word to some of the mums. Ill also mention ACOCP to them.
Anyway, photos as promised. She is gorgeous!

Niamh is just beautiful in her little dress. Those ups and downs can drive you crazy, but just be strong and try to take each day as it comes. I have twin girls who were born at 24.5 wks and it is such a hard road some days. My girls are now 20 months and have just started walking.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww Bon, she's adorable!!! I love these pics, she's starting to look so "grown up/bigger". I love the little dress and hat she has on, and my goodness how small are those feet. Hard to imagine Niamh will most likely be a 6 foot amazon with size 11 feet one day lol You should get some footprints done to show her how tiny she once was.
I am sorry to hear she has been a bit unstable, but hopefully she will level out and start putting on some weight again. Here's wishing a nice uneventful boring week ahead, with lots of weight gain. Fingers crossed there is no infection.
cheers,
Leoni

She looks gorgeous Siobhan!!
Am sorry to hear you have had a bad week. And that your little princess has been unstable over night but glad to hear she does not have an infection.
I hope that this week is a good one for you and Niamh.
Keep growing little Niamh, you can do this!
