    Was just coming on to update, unfortunately I don't think I can upload a photo on my phone but I will put one up tomorrow or Tuesday when hopefully I'll be home. Benjamin Alan Gerard was born on Friday 13th June at 2.20pm weighing 2lb 3oz ( 980g ). So far he's a little trooper and is breathing well and has come off the vent onto cpap already, has had many dirty nappies (took grace a week to poop) and his kidneys are working so well he keeps soaking his bed. Going to try him on some milk today, praying he tolerates it. Very much in love with him. Grace is super cute in how she says 'babyben' like it's all one word. I didn't get pre-e or hellp this time but the cord had stopped working so it was an immediate c section, recovering okay.

    don't make it other to DFW forums often but yours is one of the posts I always look out for Dinah. I didn't even know you were expecting #2, much less that i'd arrive to find that he'd been evicted through the sunroof!

    Congrats to you, NIM and Grace. Hugs and fighting spirit for Baby Ben xx

    Congratulations again! Seems like he is a real character already and glad Grace is pleased with her little brother.
