Well I thought I'd give you all an update. Just to let you know that I am still around.

Xander is now 22 months old, and picking up more and more vocabulary each day, and has actually figured out much to my annoyance, how to turn the lamps by our bed on and off. I think he delights in the clicking sound the switches make.

He's also recently been accepted to an actingn/modeling agency for children 6 months to 16 years. He has the photo shoot on Saturday, so we shall see in the coming year if he gets any work out of it.

Lilia, is still in hospital, doing great. Breathing on her own, and may have been transfered out of the incubator overnight as she's been maintaining her own temperature. (yes, I'm a bad mummy, have yet to ring the hospital today)
She's been out of Intensive care, for around 2 and a half weeks and is weighing 1510g. If all continues to go well, we could have her home by Christmas, which would make her 38 weeks gestation. Or a little over 10 weeks old, count from her birthdate.
She's also starting on bottle feeds as of yesterday.

Rhyce and I are still together, and working on our problems. We both had a bad week that begun from Friday, 9th November. And I've been on anti-depressants, since Monday 12th November, both for depression and post partum depression. The calm is nice, actually.

So that is us at the moment.

Photos will come when I am a little less busy.

Bendithion,
RubyRose

Thanks.

I just rang the hospital a little while ago, and found out that Lilia has graduated out of her incubator and into a regular hospital basinet/cot thing. Yay.

Gotta run though, Xander's awake from his nap.

I am so glad things are going better for you. You have been in my thoughts alot. What a wonderful Christmas present that would be, bringing your baby girl home. I hope all continues well.

That must be so difficult, having a little one at home and a brand new baby in the hospital as well. I'm so glad to hear that Xander is growing and getting into things, amusing and annoying you at the same time. And I'm delighted to hear that Lilia is also growing and gaining and may be able to come home soon. And I'm relieved to hear that the anti-depressant is helping you to cope. I hope Rhyse will also find some peace and joy in spending time with his family. :hugz:

I feel for you... RubyRose, never give up. You're such a strong woman!

I'm so happy Lilia is doing great and I hope she will be home soon, to see her very first Christmas tree...

:lol: Yes a Christmas Tree ... at the rate the bills keep flooding in, it'll be a tree without decorations. We actually never had one last year, mainly because Xander was a little too young to understand what Christmas was, and we'd only just moved out on our own.

I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well, Xander sounds so cute and I know Lilia must be just as cute too
I hope you have a wonderful family Christmas together
