just noticed your ticker
how prem was your ds? :D

[Chel-C]

29 weeks :) our little fighter! he was in hospital for 18 weeks with his ups and downs but he's fabulous now. touch and go for a while, and i got to the point where i was scared of seeing him for fear i was going to lose him, but nope, he's here screaming away as i speak, making sure we all know just how big and loud he is now, and im sure he'll never let us forget. He has some health problems, but nothing major thats going to affect him majorly, but yeah, our little preemie prince :)

[Whassat]

aww bless him.
do you know why he was prem or did you go into labour early :unsure:
he's a cutie pie

[Chel-C]

there was a complication on my behalf and they needed to get him out or none of us would be here today. We were told it was 35% rate and i was mortified i really was. Hopefully all will be smooth and easy this time!

[Whassat]

blimey.
scary stuff eh! thanks for telling me. xx

:crossfing for this time :kisshands:

[Chel-C]

cheers, thanks. Hoing all should go smoothly lol. I used to go all tense about people asking about him, now i dont bother lol, i talk about it openly, it's in the past, Romi's fine so why shouldnt i chat about it? lol

29 weeks awwwww bless him, he is gorgeous & I hope it all goes well this time. what did he weigh?

Jack was 6 weeks prem, and there was a baby girl born just after Jack at 31 weeks , she was taken to Leicester the next day. My Sister kept in touch with the mum. We saw her just before Christmas & she is a tiny little dot but no health problems

[Chel-C]

2lb 2oz lol, and he was all red and see through still. I still cant belive just how well and healthy he is today, he has a couple of health complaints, but at least he's here! He's on the 14th percentile for Weight and then 23rd percentile for height, so he's not too far behind others i guess. It's just funny him and his cousin are so close in age yet so very different developmental wise, it just gives Romi an extra reason to be special though :)

[Jacks Aunty]

Aww he sounds like a special little boy

Lots of hugs :kisshands:

[Chel-C]

thanks hun, every childs special in their own way, but we thinks Romi's super special lol, biased maybe...

[Jacks Aunty]

And so you should be.
I sometimes think i brag about Jack to much but like you say we are biased & I suppose it shows how proud we are.
Jack is very special to us, he is perfect especially after what he has been through in a short space of time.

[Chel-C]

hugs for Jack, he sounds special too :D
