i know.  and i remember how supportive all of the BDW girls were.  i mean tammy (host) came to visit me in the hospital before my husband got there (i happened to be in her neck of the woods!  that was the first time i met her!).  others offered to come.  some sent gifts.  amazing.  and of course one of the girls on here (Sarah) is a L&D nurse so she was on the phone with me A LOT!  lol  and this is weird, one of the NICU nurses ended up being on this forum as well, AND married at Las Caletas, where I was married.  talk about small world!

 

and in case you wonder why I am still on BDW almost 6 years later ... i think you can see now, i've formed some true friendships!

Wow to that pic of Gwen.  So teeny!!!   I remember that happening, so crazy.

 

Cherina - you make some adorably cute and obviously strong babies!

Thanks guys. I am a newbie to BDW but everyone has been amazing and Ann it is a journey few can understand I am glad she is doing so well.

how long was she in the NICU, until about 37 weeks or so?  that's about when we were out, so we were in about a month, just over.  is she totally healthy now?  gwen has always been pretty healthy - she was smallish at first but caught up around 18 mos.

She was small but mighty we got to bring her home at 34+1!!!! They couldn't find a reason to keep her and (they tried it got quite hostle, I'll explain). She had no apnias, no bradys, bottle feeding 3oz per feeding, and passed the car seat test. Her biggest issue was and is to this day her foot. Is was burnt, broused and blistered and decaying to the point where we had to discuss a partial amputation and most of her small toes fell off from dead tissue because a nurse chose not to care. http://www.news10.net/news/article/158547/2/Mom-of-injured-baby-wants-answers-from-Kaiser-Roseville
