4 months and 2 days...

Joey was 4 months old on sunday, it is hard to believe he has only been with us that long! I feel like i have been a Mum forever! He is growing and changing so fast though and it is so much fun to watch the changes. My SIL (D`s brother`s wife) gave birth to a little girl on Saturday. She is TINY (2352gms) and has been in NICU as a result. She is perfectly healthy though, just a little bit small. My SIL was in hospital for about a month before the baby was born with pre-term labour. She was on a drip and medication for that time and then when she hit full-term (37 weeks) they discharged her and let her go into labour naturally. They had measured the baby as being around 2800gms but they were out by 500 gms. I wonder if they would have let her go into labour if they had known the baby was that small? Probably shouldn`t dwell on it too much and just be grateful that both Mum and daughter are well!
