Monday 2nd June 2008

Its taken a while to get back here! Niamh has had a great week. She is thriving and has put on over 200g!! She had her eyes tested on Friday morning and Im pleased to say that there was some improvement there. She needs to go back in a fortnight for hopefully what will be her last check and then she should get the all clear.

Niamh is such a placid, settled little girl. She is a delight. Her steroids (for her lungs) can make her a bit wakeful and agitated, but generally she is perfect. I almost forget she is here! We are fully breastfeeding with a formula top up which is working really well. Niamh even slept from 11pm until 4.20am last night! Bliss!

Bailey just loves her, he is very affectionate with her and after an initial, scary moment (he tipped the bassinette over whilst trying to look at her) it is all good. He is obviously very curious but thats only natural.

Ive had an abdominal ultrasound to see whats going on with me but wont get the results until Tuesday.

Apart from that, life is very busy! I will get back and put some piccies up later.

I'm so glad to hear that about her eye test. She is doing amazingly well.

Good luck with your test results.

Thanks for the update.. I was just about to send out a search party ;)

Love B.

so good to hear how it's all going. Have been checking every day still in hope of a new piccie :-)
glad to hear of the eye improvement. Hope you have all settled into a 'routine' of sorts!

Great to hear things are going so well Siobhan - have also been checking in but figured "no news was good news" and you were busy enjoying your life as a mum of a little baby again.

Look after yourself and don't forget to breathe once in a while.

I'm so glad you have settled into have Niamh at home. Your post made me feel better, too. Days after bringing Eleanor home from hosiptal, James climbed up the side of the pram, where she was sleeping in the bassinette, and pulled the whole thing over on himself!
