Hiya All,

Well in the spirit of equality here is an Essex Dad! I will be the pre-dominant home carer and do will be the "mum" if you like although there are some areas of mothering I can not cover!!

Anyways, Harry was due on 18 August this year but decided enough was enough and he came out to join us on 10 June - some TEN weeks early!

Firstly, I can not praise Colchester Hospital SCBU enough. In particular, Gemma, Rosie, Dianne & Karen and a few others whose names escape me at the moment.

Harry is doing really really well at at 33 1/2 weeks he is already of the monitors and heated mattress and in an open cot. He is wrapped up like Scott of the ant-arctic though!

Look forward to joining in on the debates on here

All the best

Simon

Welcome to the site Simon, we need more Dads! There is actually an Essex Dads subforum but it's a little dusty in there!

I'm Louise, I'm married to Kester and we have two kids, Felix who is nearly 4 and Iris who is 2. We're currently trying for number three too.
