    As promised, a few pics of Ben. The three photos are him first born being wheeled up to the nicu at about 10 mins old, at 4 days old having his first cuddle, and at 7 days old free of most of his tubes having a good stretch. He continues to do well, he's been moved to high dependency now and if he can tolerate his feeds for the next 6 days he'll officially be considered just a feeder grower and unlikely to have any major complications. We're just so happy with how well he's done.

    NIMs mother went back to Ireland last night, visit was a bit of a disaster as usual and the two of them are no longer speaking.

  • Fantastic news, congratulations both.
    So sorry the visit from the MIL didn't go so well, strange creatures MILs at the best of times ;-)
    I am loving your positivity, you seem very content and relaxed which is brilliant to read.
    Who would have thought when you did your first diary that not so many years on you would be married with your own lovely family, it really is heart warming.
    Huge congratulations again xxx

    That last photo of Ben is brilliant! :)

    Sorry the Monster-in-law wasn't behaved, why is it so difficult to keep one's trap shut?! :mad:

    Hope you're settling in well with your little man Lara! :)

    Ben is back up to 960g this morning, so almost at his birth weight, little star.

    Awww! He's so tiny, the first one is my fave because you know that face you pull when someone turns the light on in the bedroom and you just don't want to know? It's exactly that! Glad he's doing so well, hope it continues :)

    How awful about NIM's Mum! I can't believe she'd be so typically herself at a time like this? (no offence, NIM!)

    Hope everyone else is managing to enough this lush weather! :)

    Ben is an absolute star!

    Congratulations to Lara too!

    Unfortunately popping in with bad news here. We found out Thurs babies heartbeat had stopped at 15+5 ( was 16 weeks). Had to go into hospital yesterday and came out this morning. Obviously very upsetting but am doing ok especially with support of OH and cuddles off my little princess.
