I think there's a bit of "trying to trip you up" @blackcat20. Getting excited for you and @TomVexille (Mrs QF WP sends her best wishes as well). Must go and check out the house thread, it's been a while

Doesn’t take much at the moment, apparently I accidentally slipped on Monday at work. That’s what no sleep does to you...

Maybe BC was referring to mini "Tom" because of expected late nights, lack of sleep, extra mess & laundry

Its all his fault, mini BlackCat wouldnt be so annoying

Finished up work yesterday in anticipation of the early arrival of mini TomCat.

Gotta tell you BC - if you arrive at the 380 wake on Sat nt and start screaming for somebody to boil some water mid way between entree and main course ............ well we might have to just have to drag you out to the kitchen and let Emilio and his wife deal with it ............ Tommy, penegal and myself have business to attend to!!!

Don’t worry, by early I mean they’re booking it in.

Definitely not twins. We checked more than once to be sure.

I like the ‘more than once’. Didn’t trust the scan?
Hope the wait’s not too long for MrsGM. She must be right over it by now. And is Little MissGM excited at a sibling?

Bought Bonds 00000/prem clothes for Bub given the expected size of said Bub. Clothes are still huge!

 

[JohnK]

Well....... if she's anything like her father

She's inherited lots from her father .

One of my nephews was tiny when born, we had to go out and shop for super small but its amazing how quickly they grow.

Check out the tiny nappies. Soo cute. So what weight is expected then coz 0000 are teensy! One of our babies was around 5 lbs (our family is all adopted). By the time he was 8 weeks he was a butter ball.

I’ll know more next week but was only 2kg last week.

Ok, so that’s not far off No2 who was born at 36 weeks.

They’re trying for 37 weeks, but will depend on results tomorrow.

Well, every day is a bonus but if already 36 weeks then all will be very well. That seems to kick in at 32 weeks with some medical support prior.

i had two at 34 weeks and (apart from 3 weeks and 2 weeks in nicu) no problems at all. They know heaps more now about what to do with premies, so 36 or 37 will be fine.

Our hospital takes them from 32 weeks.

 

[Quickstatus]

MstQS1 and MstQS2were both 2.4kg when they arrived but now they reckon they only fit into J.

Im a total non-breeder.

Reading this I was, "Takes them where?... Ohhhh....."

 

[Quickstatus]

Maternity hospitals have minimum age cutoffs for newborns. Most metropolitan will do/take/accept 32 weeks or older. Any younger they have to go to another usually larger hospital - though can be birthed at first hospital. This can often mean mother and baby may be separated

Does Dog know it’s about to be demoted?

Miss QF WP was born at 36 weeks 6 days after Mrs QF WP had pre-eclampsia: pre-eclampsia - Google Search

She's well (enough) adjusted (if maybe a little smaller than the average Grade 7 at her school). Will have to get her details out to have a look.
