Matt update







Well Matt is off oxygen completely now which is fantastic.....he got a result of 97% stats over a 8hr period. He failed his first test by 1% my theory was his portacot mattress was to thin so it doesnt give him the right head position as when we eventually brought him to our bed his numbers went back up to normal and it was to late he had failed the test.This time i brought his cot mattress and he was perfect, we had to do the test at Ronald McDonald house we also did our first night of volunteering at the house was great. They do so much to make you feel at home and really appreciate you, its nice to give back and we made some new friends who have premmie girls.






Matt is also crawling everywhere and he is so proud of himself but all he wants to do is walk. Tonight for the first time he sat from a crawling position if that makes sense we were so happy but our baby is growing up ..... He is also starting to pull himself up from things it wont be long until he is walking maybe a few months i dont think before his first birthday in january.






Wow where has the time gone it's hard to imagine that Matt will be ONE next month, the time has gone so quick but it has the been the best year so far, its hard to imagine that this time last year i was on bed rest and didnt know what was going to happen to the baby i was carrying it is the most scary time when you dont have normal pregnancys every day you hope that you are going to be still pregnant the next day but you never can relax, we woluld still like a another baby but dont think we will, too hard emotionally and to hard to do bed rest with a toddler. We are so grateful for our beautiful happy healthy baby boy.






Enjoy the pics !!!!

king of the spa loves splashing around





Somebody likes playing in our spa, he just bounces everywhere even manages to splash over the bath. He thinks he is in the jolly jumper and loves playing here ..... It gets pretty squashed when we are all in but Matt loves it....






Matt now weighs 6.770kg length 64cm approx doubled since he was born. Rolling around everywhere and loves food and if your not watching he will grab food from your plate very quick indeed. He is off o2 8hrs now per day but more when he decides he doesnt wants to wear it and is coping very well we go back to Monash on Monday and we will see what the next step is ....we are getting close to coming off altogether....

New pics in the header

As you can see we have some nice new pics of Matt that i have updated his header, and i think he is so damm cute. We have printed a few of them and they look so nice in frames that will eventually be put on the wall when i have finished need a few more frames. I had a lady ring us today to see if we wanted some baby pics taken, i dont think we need to spend the money to get nice pics when i am so pleased of the ones that Darryl and I take and cost very little. Later on we will get family pics taken as its a little hard for us to do that ourselves.


We have had our first holiday away and it was great Matt was so good he is such a good traveller, we enjoyed our time away and it was so nice to catch up with Leon, Shirelle, James ,Claire, Alisha, Peter, Jackson and Cooper.


Well the latest news is that Matt has had his oxygen turned down he is on .125 and is going really well. Next week we start 15mins per day without oxygen and then the next week its 15mins twice a day. I hope he goes well. Eventually he will go all day with out oxygen and only on at night so we are heading in the right direction with our oxygen.


We started food today a little bit of Farax all went well

Im slack

Hi we are all well and i have been soooo slack on updating Matt's Blog. He is doing very well and his personality is coming out more and more each day. Smiling more now and giggling aswell we have some caught on video but havent downloaded it just yet.

I cant believe he is al;ready 6 months old on the 16th of July time has really flown by especially the last 2 months being home. Also on the 31st of July it was 12 months since i had our blastacyst implanted and we all know it worked. I have a picture of the blastacyst that i will find and show you but im on the land computer and not the lap top where most of the pics are.

Rose had a question that many people have asked "how long will Matt be on oxygen" well the answer is we dont know, they say that babies are generally off oxygen by the time they are 12 months and going by waht i have been told by other preemie mums there babies came off at about 10-11 months .....all i know is Matt is on .25mls per litre per minute then when ready he goes diwn to .125 then he eventually weans off until he is off oxygen during the day and on at night then eventually off altogether. We go to Monash once a month for a test to see how he is going and they decide if he is ready to start weaning off. We go this Thursday so hopefully he might get turned down but if he doesnt thats ok there is next month.
