Hello... remember me? Update time! :-)
<t>First I have to say how sorry I am to be away from the forum for so long. For the past seven years, I have been blessed with a job with a lot of down time & ease of use of the internet, which I used quite a bit to stay up to date here. However, in September, half of our federal funding was lo...

Re : what should i expect?
<t>Good luck! I hope you find the support here that you need to get through this. We have all been right where you are now. (well, not exactly... I had to deliver at 28 weeks!)<br/> <br/> Look at the thread at the top of this forum, Hints for New Parents. I think it gives a lot of great advice that ...

Re : Anyone w/ baby &Upper GI study?
<t>It'll all be over before you know it. I remember it was hard thinking of Aaron going w/o food, but really it wasn't that long. He was about 1 month past his due date when we had his UGI. The test really helped me understand what was happening. You could really SEE the reflux happening on the x-ra...

Re : How do you survive that 1st birthday?
<t>I couldn't believe I was still so emotional (that's out of character for me anyway) THIS year, for Aaron's second birthday. I think, as preemie parents, we are always going to see our "babies" as the little miracle fighters that they were back in the NICU. Even if they are talking and rolling som...

Re : Preemies- what can a new parent expect?
<t>Welcome and congratulations!<br/> <br/> Be sure to read through the Sticky at the top of the Preemie forum. That has a ton of ideas in it for a new preemie parent. <br/> <br/> There's also a ton of "veterans" here, so please post any questions that you have. <br/> <br/> I wish you well!<br/> <br/...
