Well I moved on the 31st of Jan, on the first of Feb 2009 Cyrus Neil Was born at 1035 pm, after a quick labour. 4 weeks early. weight was 5p11 or 2.58kg. Which I am told is good for a preterm baby. We stayed in hospital for 5 days and then were discharged home. I am so proud of Levi how he has accepted his new baby brother. He loves him is protective already and loves to give him cuddles and kisses, he has been behaving so well. And has accepted that mum cant pick him up because she has a sore belly. which is true all my musscles pulled apart during the pregnancy now i have to do exercises and wear a brace to help put them back together. I am glad that Levi has welcomed his brother into the family and we have all been able to settle into our new home together.

I had an ultra sound yesterday, after being told that i am measuring small, I wasnt too concerned measured small with levi, but this time measuring smaller again. So Turns out when i got into the u/s was more concerned that i thought was so anxious when i got there. but thankfully everything is fine. baby is a good size. I just wanted to say to anyone else who is measuring small good luck and things can be fine. Im 33 wks and 4 days and when they measure my belly its only at 26cm. and my baby isn't small and is healthly and has plenty of fluid around it so yours can be aswell. some people are just small.

good luck to everyone else.

cheers

Wow, I am amazed, on saturday 25/10, we put together levi's new bed in what would be his new room. He enjoyed helping putting all the screws in the holes for dad (cam) to screw in with the drill. We put on the protector the sheets and doona, and then he had his fun jumping around.  By the time we had finished it was time for dinner, bath and bed. When I asked levi what bed he wanted to sleep in expecting him to go to his cot, he ran to the new bed and climb on.  He went to sleep with out getting up and had a great night. though i did find him twice in the night on the floor, he hadnt fallen he had climbed down and gone across the room to cuddle up on a soft blanket, which used to be in his cot.  So now He has the soft blanket in bed with him, and wow he stays in bed. I am amazed. my plan was to let him play in the new room as he was never really allowed in there before was the spare room with stuff in it he couldnt touch.  So all his stuff is now in his new room. he has slept through as normal each night and stays in bed, only once getting out to play when was meant to be bed time. even his afternoon nap he stays in til he wakes up then gets up. I was ready for a hard time and it has been a fantastic thing for him. Levi loves the new bed, the new room. I think he likes being called a big boy. Oh and he gave his bottle up two weeks ago, well mum took it off him cold turkey, and he coped with that too, was sooky to start with but is happy now. I think I am one lucky mum. And thanks to everyone who gave me advice when i asked the question how to make the transition easiest. since we already had the bed just had to get the mattress we had levi come and test them out with us. he loved running round the bed shops.. thanks again

signing off as one happy mum

I have morning sickness and levi has been sick. I was home from work to look after levi on tuesday and luckily, Cameron was too sick to go to work. I say luckily because tuesday morning while i was making breakfast, levi vomitted, I went to get him to clean him and the vommit up, and he vommited again. I couldnt handle it at all. I had to run and vommit myself, not like me at all, i tried three times to clean up the vommit, with out success so instead i took over cleaning levi and left the vommit  to cameron, who thought the whole thing was a great joke watching me run back and forth trying not to add to the mess. In a way it was funny, but not very helpful. Levi still has an infection and has antibiotics at first it was easy to get him to take the medication, now all he does it spit it everywhere. Im hoping that he is actually getting some of it. and have been trying many things to get it into him. well i guess thats life. take care luv me.
