Little Lachie - welcome to the world my baby no. 2

In the very early hours of the morning of the 20th of January we welcomed our little boy Lachlan into the world a whole month early!
We are delighted and besotted and in love.
Lachie was transferred to the NICU in the hospital where I have birth and later transferred to The Royal Children's Hospital due to other complications (which we did know about - but I haven't got around to discussing here yet. Lachlan has some kidney issues that need to be rectified)
I have discharged myself from hospital (about 12 hours after birthing him!) and I'm home with my husband and Abigail.
We think it's best to have some normality for Abs for now rather than me be in a hospital where my son isn't!
We have been allowed one quick cuddle and it's petty shit being home without him.
Hopefully it's bit too long a stay for him and he's home with us soon.

About 16 hours old. Losing the 'puffiness' and settling in at The Royal Children's.

Minutes old and being allowed a cuddle before being shipped off the NICU. This was the last time I held him. I hope it's not long till I can again.

  7. He is just gorgeous. I can see the resemblance to your husband (but you too as well!). It must be so hard to not have him with you and then to also ensure that you are taking care of Abs. Make sure you are taking care of yourself too sweetie. Big hugs and kisses your way!

    Thinking of you guys lots and lots, it's the pits not immediately getting to bring them home :(
    You are such a wonderful mama to both of them, they're lucky to have such amazing parents. Hoping his stay in the hospital isn't too long.

  12. Congratulations Sammie! I hope he comes out of NICU soon. I remember visiting Nyla and feeling sad staring at her through the enclosed cot as all I wanted to do was to cuddle and feed her. Hopefully it won't be long before he comes home and gets plenty of cuddles. x
