Well the time has come...... on Wed 17 March 2010 I finally went home with mummy & daddy.

What good timing because I was really only meant to be born now - my expected due date was 16 March!

My last weigh in before discharge was 3542g (7 pound 8 oz) and 46cm long ..... not bad growing for 99 days old!!

Mummy & Daddy are so looking forward to finally having me home and experiencing all those things they weren't able to do when I was first born.

Thank so much to everyone for following my progress. All of your phone calls, messages, words of encouragement and support has really helped us all get through the last few months.

Now the fun begins.

"THE END"

I'm just about ready for a change of scenery now...... I think I want to go home!

Mummy is rooming in with me the next couple of nights and I can't believe that I will finally be able to go home with them on Wednesday!

Poor mummy has been sick again so daddy has been coming in to give me my milk via bottle instead.

I LOVE spending time with my daddy!

Then just last week I decided that I didn't need my oxygen anymore or my feed tube! I'm a BIG BOY now ...... 39 weeks old!

I'm LOVING my cuddles with mummy!

I've been grazing in a pretty good paddock......
Mummy comes in 4 times a day to feed me - I love my mummy's milk and I'm usually awake and starving when she arrives.

I'm well over 3kg now (7 pound) thanks to mummy's milk!

They give me 'air tests' to see how I cope without oxygen. It would vary how long I could stay off it - sometimes 10 mins, sometimes an hour.

I still need just a sniff of oxygen to help me.

I don't look too happy here but I really LOVE my baths!

I settled in well at GV Health Shepp and have been doing LOTS of sleeping, eating & growing!
