World Prematurity Day

Maisie kept Mummy up most of the night and it seemed grossly unfair that when Daddy took over and after a feed Maisie then slept for nearly 6 hours! Lucky Daddy.

Daddy took Mummy and Maisie out for a run in the car this afternoon and stopped off for a coffee. Maisie hasn't had any caffeine since leaving hospital and had coped well without it so far so decided to just have milk instead. 

Then it was back home and more hernia discomfort. Monday can't come quickly enough. 

Maisie eventually settled down for a wee snooze on her play mat before going to bed;




Tomorrow evening Mummy and Daddy are bravely leaving the children home alone while they are out for dinner with some dear friends; Zach and Meghan will be left holding the baby but we have a feeling that Maisie will be firmly in charge telling Zach and Meghan exactly what to do.




Saturday 17 November 2012 is World Prematurity Day and this year Bliss is getting behind the international campaign to raise awareness of the 15 million babies who are born too soon each year. 60,000 of these are born in the UK and Bliss want everyone to join the campaign to raise awareness of the issues these babies and their families face
In 2008 the idea came about to raise awareness of the serious issues that these babies and their families face and since then the day has gained more and more support and each year has gone from strength to strength.
Please take time on Saturday to think and pray about all the premature babies and their families around the world.
