Hi emma and the whole family and everyone out there...to be honest with everyone..I just wanted to say that even iv stayed strong..I couldnt off done it without any friends help and support along the way.... even if its just a little post on the internet...every little thing of support or help or by just being there..it will always go along way...and its a good positive memory to think about... when you look back and think about what people writen or asking hows you and the baby doing....and by that because its a good attiude...everything that I will reply would be a positve anserw...so thankyou everyone thinkbaby has help alot.... As for Jennifer...she has put on weight she is now 3 pounds 13 1/2 ounzes.. also she has now got her feeding tube..so what I do now is that I make it towards her feeding time on the care ward....and breast feed her....and then if we think she might need abit more milk..what ever iv expressed we put abit of that in a feeding cup ( a little plastic cup) and when Im not there to feed her...the nurses feeds her from the feeding cup..and the nurses says that she does very well. So tomorrow night im going to stay over at the hospital in the family bedroom...and hopefully Jennifer would be able to have her cot in the family bedroom when me and her daddy stays over...instead off us keep on getting up to walk it into the care unit to feed her..so fingers cross when I go to ask the nurses if she can sleep in the room with her mummy and daddy. so yer now she has got her feeding tube out hopefully in the next few days (instead of 10 days) nicky- will do the discharge meeting then hopefully she will be home a couple of days after the meeting.. Fingers cross... but I think it would be anytime after the 16th september after shes had her third eye check up.. anyways got to go..(going to make a sandwich...) Lover Claire and baby Jennifer xxx Health and happyness

Hiya Claire Ive been reading your posts and just want to say that Im well chuffed that baby jennifer is coming home Thurs! I was born only weighing a little over 3lbs nearly 30 years ago and the doctors told my parents that I wouldnt suvive the night. Well I proved them wrong and here I am today! its amazing just how much SCBU has advanced so much in that time, without the care of the nurses and doctors I wouldnt be here today. Take care Karen and Olivia xxx

Hi both Emma's and Luce... Im so looking forward to the sleepless nights...Just waking up knowing that shes letting me know that she is ok and get up with her and have a little cuddle at the window showing her all the constilations of the stars and the moon...(and sending out unconditional love out to the whole world)
shes finally just woken up about 10mins ago...changed her bum and she had like a indian Korma poo lol  lol...and then gave her a feed which she had about 75 mls... (sorry if I just put you off your tea)  and now she has just fallen asleep so I wont see her for another 4 hours, all im now waiting on is her washing to finnish from the washing macheine... Was just woundering a few weeks after youve had your babys ... did any off you suffered with post natal depression..iv not got... but do you have to be sort off a strong positive person not to have it...like iff you are a very paitent person and do not get stressd out easerly.. cause im that type of person who doesnt get stressed out easerly...and if I did I would do mind meditation...(which always help) just a random question that came into my head  But yer..its really great that little Jenni Wren is home now and im defintly over the moon...and even if the hard time does come ..I wouldnt change it for the world..and wouldnt put it her...cause I love her so much..and I can start doing the things I would be able to do.. everyone at the hospital have been very supportive towards Jennifer and us and so have you guys... everypositive thourght has help us alot along our way to getting Jennifer home... I thorght Jennifer wouldnt be able to come home at least after the 19th september and the nurses was going to do a discharge meeting on friday for her to come home and then it got put forward for today and I was very shocked and getting excited.... I do have some updated photos...but im waiting for my partners mum to forward them by e-mail but she sort of put the usb cable for the digi camra...and cant find it...so she said when she comes across it she'll forward the pictures as soon as possible...so when i get them il post them.. oh I forgot I do have one but il just have to check just give me a few mins to find it... Love Claire and baby Jennifer and Pete xxx

Claire, i didnt get any postnatal depression with melissa, but when i had kiera after about 4 months things did get on top of me alot due to my nan dying and a big family bust up over it all. i also felt id let kiera down as she wouldnt breast feed, with help from friends and family and mainly my hubby being a star and putting up with so much!! i got over it within 6 months and have been fine since. its not something you can avoid getting but you can control it and slowly you get though it and come out a better person knowing you have learnt to deal with the problems and i think it make you a stronger person too. hope this helps xx
