Been MIA for a while...hoping to be back now

Hey ladies, I have been MIA for weeks/months.  For a quick recall, I ended up having my water break at 30w and spending 2w on hospital bedrest (at a OOT hospital with a great NICU) before DS#2 arrived.  We were transferred to our local NICU at 3 days old and baby spent another month in the NICU before being released on November 5th.  I have a 3 yo, so life was insanely busy for the first few months.

We have finally adjusted and have somewhat of a schedule.  Dealing with a preemie is much different than a full term baby (at least for me).  DS is doing great, going 3 or 4 hrs between feedings.  He has pretty much doubled his birth weight and has managed to avoid getting a wicked stomach flu that went through the house.

Hopefully I'll be able to get on here every couple of days if not more.  I hope you are all doing well.  Gonna spend some time catching up.  Mork, I've been thinking alot about you and your precious girl, being that our los share a birthdate.

Glad to see this update. I had paged you on Nov.12 board but I wasn't sure if you ever go around there anymore. Glad to hear all is going well.
