I found out an hour before she was born that I needed a caesarean. It was a huge shock. She weighed just over 2kg. I was very traumatised after her birth and I am really feeling for you at the moment. My baby stayed for a week in special care. <br /><br />You will be happy to know that now, only ten weeks later, she weighs five kilos and is absolutely thriving! She is such a joy. <br /><br />I was so scarred after her birth that I thought I would never have another one (i'm only 21) but i've already come around and would love to have another baby eventually! <br /><br />I've really empathised with your story and i'm praying for you and Charlie- he will be so big before you know it!<br /><br />FYI- pumpkin patch does a good premmy range - very cute too. Its so hard to find small clothes for them she was too small for 00000! <br />My feet were so swollen and disgusting too - I feel your pain..<br /><br />Best wishes for you and your family,<br />Anna.AJannajacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632299361653475030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461571812296823922.post-58602666805982469672010-03-31T19:15:03.166+11:002010-03-31T19:15:03.166+11:00Thank you for that lovely comment -

Eventually...And they all lived happily ever after. Eventually.<br /><br />It's hard. It is so hard having a baby and have something go wrong, or at least, not according to the plan, not the way it SHOULD be.<br /><br />And you know what? You and Charles and your husband WILL move on, and you will have great days, and shitty days, and then great days again. And then some scary days, teary days and every other kind of day that can get thrown at you.<br /><br />But when this happens to you, you are never the same again. Not worse, not better ... but different. And I suspect that difference makes us stronger than we thought we could ever be. Even though you will spend years waking up in the morning and having a small moment of panic if your child has not woken up before you! Or you hear a strange noise from them ... <br /><br />You are vulnerable now, but you are a mother.<br /><br />And mothers are INVINCIBLE!<br /><br />It just takes our friends to remind us of that occasionally.<br /><br />And lady, I am here for you! And your handsome Charles! Have I told you about my very awesome new niece? They'd make a beautiful couple ....
