My pregnant wife

[Waldo]

G'day Aussiecollector,

No chance, the cigar was a once only ever thing, never to be repeated.

I finished it yesterday and ended up getting so hot working in the shed and probably a mix too of the cigar that I ended up having a cold shower and in the process spewed - something I rarely do is get sick.

So no more cigars or similar. I'd rather have the brandy sans cigar.

On Sarah's side of things. Today she was moved out of the public neonatal care part of The Royal Womens' into the neonatal part of Frances Perry on level 11. Where she has joined a lineup with other babies and as she progresses she moves closer to the exit - literally.

She now weighs 1872g and soon will be moved out of the humi crib into an open air crib. She has had a suck on Kylie and when she feeds via her tube now she starts to suck. She starting to lose some of her velvety brown hair and is becoming even more aware of her surroundings.

On Kylie's side of things - leaving Sarah each day is real hard for her and is producing copious amounts of milk, so much so that it's too much for Sarah to drink.

Sounds like your 2 girls will be home very soon, good stuff.

And leave them cigars alone!

[Waldo]

G'day Harry72,

Kylie has been home from the hospital now for about 3 weeks.

Sarah will at least be enjoying the a cooler temperature in the Specail Ward. They keep her crib at 29ºC which is much nicer than the 42ºC expected today.

I'll go in to see her tomorrow, I've got to stay back and continue in the shed - under orders, howzat?! Santa is late in some Christams presents to some nephews.

Great news Waldo! So glad Sarah is doing well and Kylie too.

Cheers

.... I'd rather have the brandy sans cigar.

Yep, brandy tastes so much better going down than it does coming up.

Glad that all is going well. You won't know yourselves when Sarah's home.

G'day,

I've been wondering about posting a recent pic of my little girl for you lot to drool over, instead of the usual bits of timber that you've turned into something.

Here she is as of yesterday and now weighs 1988g.

There's a good story behind this pic. Sarah on occasion chucks a huge smile but only on the special occasion that, and as Kylie prefers to put it, "passes wind" and it's only by chance that Kylie caught her in the process.

Thanks Ruffly Rustic and Adelaide Woodie for your cards you sent to us, they really do mean a lot.

[Wongo]

A very lucky girl.

[RufflyRustic]

Thanks Waldo.

She is such a gorgeous cutie-pie!!!!!

Cheers
RR

[TEEJAY]

A lucky man Waldo - even with all the trials it is coming together for you - well done.

Cheers

Kylie prefers to put it, "passes wind"

Chris, don't believe that for a minute. Yes, wind can cause them to turn up the corners of their mouths but they can also smile. Enjoy every one of them and cherish your little one who fought to be with you.

Nice pic. You have a beautiful child.

Wait till she's dating the guys.!!!!
thank you both for the beautiful pic.

[Waldo]

G'day,

Well the exciting news of the day is that our little girl has come home at long last!

Sarah has just had a attempted feed on Kylie with little success so a bottle of Mum's milk followed, normally she fall straight off to sleep. But seeing as it's a new surrounding for her her little eyes are everywhere looking at her new home.

I'll post a pic of her in her new home when I download the shots later on.

Real happy to be a full-time Dad now, from the part-time that I was before.

[Wood Butcher]

Great News Waldo,

I know that you will enjoy every moment with Sarah and Kylie both being home.

G'day,

Does the no sleep club entitle me to more hours in the shed?

Thanks Wood Butcher, been looking forward to this for a fair while now.
