| 09-3-2009 - Quick Update: We're Home (AGAIN!) |
My mood while writing this blog: Happy |
Hi girls
Just quickly flicking through all the blogs / messages that I have, I can see that a lot of you have had your babies since I was last online - Congratulations if you are one of those ladies and Good Luck if you are waiting for your new arrival!
Logged on for a mo to update. The Midwife came to see Ben on Friday and we were promptly readmitted to the Unit because his jaundice levels were very high. He was put straight under double phototherapy and we stayed in for 2 nights before being discharged yesterday afternoon (at exactly a week old..to the minute, would you believe?!) He's looking lovely and pink this morning so hopefully he'll remain that way now all the gunk is out of his system!
Thanks to everyone who has left messages on my last blog - I will eventually get back to people personally and also write my birth story and put pics up! Hopefully this afternoon :)
I hope that all Mummies, babies and bumps are well..
Love Becca x

Thursday, 12 Mar OMGosh...my baby boy too!!! He was born 2/28 and we went home Monday the 2nd, only to go back into the hospital on the 4th and go under the lights, and he was discharged again on the 6th. What a stressful and heartbreaking time for the both of us. I hope your Ben is doing much better. I saved Michael's little mask and put it in his keepsake box, it's so tiny! scottishkate -
