A BIG Update

So some news... Following my last blog post I had a baby. In fact, my baby came a week after my last post. Sophie was born at 23+4 weeks (16 weeks early) and weighed about the same as a small bag of sugar (558g or 1lb 3oz).  My waters broke three days after my last blog post and I was rushed to hospital and then to another hospital due to lack of beds. I had my daughter about four days later and she had a nearly 17 week stay across two NICU/NNUs.  I can never thank the NHS enough for the care they gave us across that time. We had ups and downs as Sophie got stronger each day and eventually she came home on oxygen about four days before her original due date.  After six months Sophie was discharged from all additional oxygen and medication and has grown into a lively and brilliant little toddler. I am so proud of her and look forward to each day as it brings something new. She is always trying to get somewhere she shouldn't so she keeps me on my toes, but I wouldn't have it any
