Talking Sally & Sally have their little boy - 3 months early

Hi everyone
Thought I'd better do a seperate post in here to let everyone know that we have our

Charlie Kurtis

Born at 28.6 Weeks and is in the NICU at the Mercy hospital in Heidelberg
Doing really well, breathing on his own and achieving milestones at an amazing rate. We were shocked and terrified and overjoyed all on Wednesday, 5th November and are now just overjoyed and amazed every day.
to my beautiful, amazing wife who became the amazing Mum I knew she would be when he was born.

Congratulations!!!!

I am new but hope you won't mind me saying hello! It must have been quite a shock for your babe to come so early.

I am so happy your wee man is doing so well, and your loving words brought a tear to my eyes! What a beautiful family you will be.

Congratulations on the birth of Charlie! It sounds like he is a strong mite after giving his mums a bit of a scare at first. I hope everything goes well for you all.

CONGRATULATIONS Sally and Sally on the birth of Charlie

It must have been a very scary time for you which sounds like as also had its jouyous moments. My nephew (who is now eight and a half) was born at 29 weeks weighing just 960g and is is a wonderful, healthy child. good luck as your journey continues, I know NICU can be a scary plave at times.

BTW I love the name Charlie
