Congratulations to you and your wife....
I hope it wasnt to stressful a birth for your wife and that she is ok.
Little ones do well in the special care unit. The nurses there are so wonderful.
All the very best for when little one goes home.
How are all his siblings coping with a little brother.

See you back on here in a few days times, with lack of sleep,
since you will be getting up in the middle of the night to help out.

How bout we go out for a celabatory drink?
Then when Gini's better and able, I'll take her out for one.
I'll take Tim out for a milkshake
and we Nick grows up, I'll make him pay for his own :p


Seriously :grouphug:
You, Gini, Tim and Nick :)

[riffer]

Cheers guys.

Here's a couple of piccies I took last night for those who asked.

The tubes going in to Nick's nose are to give him a help with his breathing last night. They came out at 10.30 this morning.

Apologies for the colour. Although I was using the T-90 I didn't have my colour meter so I had to guess on how much to compensate for the flouro lighting.

Still, it kind of gives it a bit of a more grainy effect.

For you photographers, shot 1/125 f5.6, using Kodak 400. Canon T-90, FD 28-85 zoom lens. Handheld, of course.

[Riff Raff]

Ahh, he's going to be a cutey!

Well done and hope his health improves in leaps and bounds now.

[Hitcher]

Isn't nature bloody marvellous!

[Joni]

Isn't nature bloody marvellous!

Absolutely Amazing!

Thank you Simon for sharing those with us!

[crashe]

A gorgeous wee young fella... a future KBer.....


My grandaughter was born 5 weeks prem, 3 years 3 months ago,
so she had the tubes on her as well for a day or so.
So I know what you and your wife are going through......
Once the tubes are out then the wee ones health improves so fast....
it won't be long before he is home with ya's.
:spudwave: :spudwave:

Hehehe. That was my first thought too! I was 9pd 6oz at birth & this is one of my theories about why my mother doesn't like me. ;)


Congratulations to you both, Celtic. :niceone:
