Firstly thanks for all the well wishes, we really appreciate them 
I just thought I'd post a quick update for everyone that has been wondering how we're getting on. Emma is doing really well. She's still in NICU and will be for 3-4 weeks still. She's breathing on her own with no problems, she's fully on b/milk so no other fluids etc and she's keeping her temp really well. She's already in a cot and is in the PIN room on a "feed & grow" plan - which basically means all she needs to do is gain weight and feed well from bottle/breast and we can bring her home 
She loves our kangoroo kuddles (and I do too) and we can hardly wait to bring her home! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yes but no real success yet. To be honest I'm not too bothered if I need to express this time around too as I have all the experience I need from last time and I'm all set up for it ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

You are one brave lady! I can't believe how long you express fed Gina for! The thought of expressing again makes me shudder!
Fingers crossed Emma gets that latch sorted to make your life easier! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

LOL Emma
To be honest I'm more afraid of b'feeding as it will be new to me - I've got expressing all sussed out and got all the equipment to do it - in fact I'm expressing as I type this (I have a double pump hands free kit  )------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Niiiiice! My double wasn't hands free so I was literally tied to it when I was expressing, couldn't even change the channel on the TV. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

This hands free thing has been a god-sent, the best thing ever or I would not have lasted this long. Got it from the US last time around and I credit it with the reason I expressed for so long - and it only cost US$20 or so ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
