Default Hello To Friends Old and New!

Hows it going? Things are crazy here and I have just figured out what was going on with BT. Nothing...so here's the alternative.

Well since being gone our daughter was born at 24 weeks and we are working through those issues yet again. This round seems to be much better going that the stuff that Ethan had to face his first week of life so we are very grateful...and definitely not trying that again!

Anyway - hope all is well!

Oh my goodness! Congrats!

I am sorry your daughter was born at 24 weeks. I know how hard it is going through the NICU experience with a young one at home. If you need to vent, please do.

How is she doing? How long has she been in the NICU?

Chris,

What a rocky road you have been on again. Glad to hear that your new little angel girl, is having a smoother road than little Ethan did. Keep us posted. You and your family will be in my heart, thoughts, and most of all prayers....

Chris! Welcome back! (If, finding a new forum can be considered coming back.) I contacted the few people I could find about this site. After that, we just had to wait for everyone to find us. I should probably point out that I found this site through Cara (from over on the Gluten Sensitivity / Celiac Disease forum). She moved her The Gluten File from old BrainTalk to http://jccglutenfree.googlepages.com/. If you look under "Favorite Links," that's where I found this.

I'm so sorry to hear your daughter was born so early, but glad things are going smoother than with Ethan. They do say premie girls have an easier time, in general. Prayers things continue to go well for her, and that you and your wife stay healthy and well-rested in the meantime.

Glad you found us again~

I am sorry to hear that your precious baby girl came so early. Relieved to hear she is having an easier time than Ethan did. Hopefully it is a good sign for her.

Congrats. What is you daughter's name?

I hope she is doing well. Ethan is a big brother.

Hello, Chris. I am so glad you found us!

Sorry about your daughter's early birth. When was she born? I hope things go well for you guys. I can imagine how stressful things must be with a new premie in the house!

(((hugs))) to sweet Ethan and to the new arrival!

Chris

How is Ethan doing on the Artane? Just read your entire blog on the baby and boy I was just shocked when I saw her footprints next to the quarter.

Hugs to the entire family,
Suzie
