Skin-on-skin with dad
The purpose of this blog is to document the extraordinary life of our daughter, Sarah-Hope. Right from the 13-week pregnancy scan, Sarah-Hope was never expected to live. From that day we decided to embrace, celebrate and enjoy every day of her precious life that we were blessed with, even if this was only in the womb. This blog gives an account of her life, our journey and all Sarah-Hope’s life has taught us.

Update - 3 days old
Sarah-Hope's still breathing and feeding fine, her platelet count is low so she had a platelet transfusion and is on antibiotics. Ultrasound showed that spleen, liver and kidneys all look structurally sound, and x-ray showed that pelvis and leg bones all looking good. Leigh has begun expressing breastmilk for feeding the precious bundle, is up and about and recovering well from the op. We’ve really enjoyed feeding, changing nappies, and skin-on-skin cuddle time. Rich is an extraordinary dad. He has the NICU staff all a flutter every time he takes his shirt off to have skin-on-skin time with his daughter.
