Tfsi Mikes Money Pit II : Baby Harry! :D

[Tfsi_Mike]

Has been a long emotional day.  Tfsi_Wife, Natalie gave birth to my son Harry this morning 6.5 weeks before he was due.

Had a rough night & I rang the midwife who advised we go and get seen to at hospital, a 45min drive (next to where I work).  We'd been there 30 - 40 mins and out he came!

He's a little poorly but is in good hands, the hospital here is another world to what Ive visited back home.

Since this time last year had the most relentless streak of bad luck and although he's early and fighting infection seeing my boy today made me feel like nothing I've felt before  

Just had to share before I fall asleep, exhausted!

Congratulations and wishing you and your new family luck

Still looking forward to holding him, killing me him not having laid on his mum yet.  He was taken staright to ICU, stable on a ventilator.  The peadiatrician sounds confident  everything is going to be alright.  Am so so so glad we wasnt on the road to the Uk when he came.

Seeing him born was overwhelming the only thing I could think of that came remotley close was jumping out of a plane!

Mate.... We had our twins at 32weeks +4 days, trust the NeoNatal people they do an excellent job.....if you need reassuring head down the ward and see the mums and dads with the 25 weekers....

Infection is common as are breathing probs, they probably didnt get to get the lung development steroids in if it happened that quickly, they'll be on antibiotics/vitamins/fluids 02 enriched environment with humidity controlled because of the skin....

Give them a couple of days to get sorted and they'll be wrapping them up and handing them to you.....First cuddle = dad crying like a good'un perfectly normal.

Before you know it you'll have a bruiser, there's lot of studies premy babies before 30 weeks can have issues later on, 30wks+ and they'll grow up perfectly A1ok

Well done to mum - this is where the fun starts - get sorted at home you may not see them home for another 3-5 weeks get fully sorted and ready for the proudest moment of your life when you walk out of the place with him in his car seat....I had one in each hand and stopped traffic - awesome

So true,

Last year we got married and moved house at the same time, this year give birth and move house at the same time, cant remember if I just had my 26th or 46th birthday!

Cherish every second as they grow up so fast!

Congratulations to you and your good lady wife Mike! 

Life will never be the same!

Well done to you both......and wish you and he family all the best!! 

This is whats called 'unconditional love' nothing can/will ever come close to it, and it builds as they get older. My son is 9 now, going on 29. I was young and selfish, having him was the best thing ever < I would give up everything and anything for him, no question!!

Only wish < he could stay a child, he will be 18 before I know it.

Thinking how fast 9 months has gone is madness, your boy will be grown up before you know it!

  Thanks Pete, definately a life changer!  Thanks for all the kind wishes gents
