Hi! It's been two months, I know, and if I'm still on your flist after all this inactivity, I'm amazed. ;-)

If you read my last post, you know my life was recently turned upside-down by the very premature birth of my baby in early January. He spent nearly eight weeks in the NICU and was released a couple of weeks ago. We're now home and all doing well. Baby Grant (I'll call him BG here) is coming up on 6 pounds, which is amazing considering that his birth weight was less than two pounds. He's doing very well, and I'm getting adjusted to life as a new mom.

I'm going to start reading my flist again, and at some point I'll get involved in fandom again. As you might imagine, it's been a little crazy around here, and Harry Potter has not been at the forefront of my thoughts! Thanks SO much for all the supportive comments left on my last post. I really appreciate it!

I was just thinking of you last night and wondering how everything was going. Glad to hear that BG is doing so much better and that y'all are home. Keep us posted.

Oh, yay. I was just wondering a couple of days ago and hoping the trip home had been uneventful.

I've thought of you and BG so much for the last two months! I't such a relief to hear that everything has been going well :) I bet it's good to be home!

Mwah! Blow a raspberry on BG's tummy with best regards from fandom :)

Welcome Home Baby Grant!

I have often wondered how you were doing. I'm glad to hear of the update. I hope things continue to go well. *hugs*

Congratulations on finally having him home and doing well! That's a huge milestone. If you find yourself looking for a good forum for preemie related questions/concerns/thoughts, Preemie-L (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/preemie-list) is a great one. I've found it invaluable.

Welcome back! Glad to hear the youngling is doing better. Youve not missed too terribly much. Except LJ's policy changes which have caused uproars. Other than that, not too much else happened.

[bekkio.livejournal.com]

Yay! So glad to see you back. :)

We get to see pictures, don't we? :D

[gblvr.livejournal.com]

That's great news about the weight gain -- I've been thinking about you guys!

I am so happy for you!

[myviciousvixen.livejournal.com]

As we've talked about, no one understands these things, really, unless they go through them. I am so thrilled that BG is doing so well, and that you are getting to be a mom! I still hold out hope that I will get to go there as well. You are an inspiration!

[lazy-daze.livejournal.com]

Yay!! I'm so happy to hear you're all doing well. <3 <3

[owens-mom.livejournal.com]

So glad you are both doing well. :)

[luci0logy.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that BG is doing so well and that you are finally home and reunited as a family. Remember to take care of yourself as well as your son. ♥

[tildathebuilder.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad to hear little BG is doing well and you're all home safe and sound.

[hathorx.livejournal.com]

First of all, congratulations!

I'm sorry I missed your last post, but I'm glad to hear Baby Grant is doing well after the premature birth. You must be so happy to have him home now!

Good luck with being a mom, you'll have to keep us updated on how things are going :)
