What a wonderful conclusion to a harrowing journey - congratulations and welcome to our newest Fodorite.

Congratulations! So sorry that things didn't go quite as planned. But very happy to hear that all is well now. Hope you're able to take your little fairy home very soon!

Congratulations! I know how tough something like this can be...a good friend of mine had their baby prematurely and she was only 18 ounces at birth....the very good news is that baby Michelle is now 12 years old and doing great!

Take care of yourself and that precious little baby

Congrats from a fellow Brussels resident :)

Congratulations! So glad to here things are going well of such a scary start.
Vitrual flowers for you and a virtual cuddle for Christina! (love the name!)

Happy that things seem to be OK for you & the little one. Congratulations!

Congratulations! From my own experience, flying long-haul avec kiddo is quite easy when she's young enough to fit into the bassinet and sleeps most of the day (little jetlag). I stock up on kid's clothing during semi-annual solde. Just think about mother-daughter Paris trip when she's older... Enjoy the little darling and take it easy!

Congratulations Lawchick!

Hope everything goes smoothly and that Christina is home asap.

What grand news! I hope you soon have your little fairy safe at home in her own bed.

As an aside , I think it's wonderful the way the new parents can stay right alongside their babies until they are ready to come home. No in and out hospital births there!

How wonderful Lawchick! All the best to you and sweet Christina.

What a wonderful outcome. Congratulations.

- congratulations! @};-

I'm so happy things turned out well for both of you! And, really, this is a travel thread -- after all, Christina traveled into the world!

All the best to both of you.

Congratulations! May your daughter find good health and happiness throughout her life.

Congratulations! All the best!

Congratulations and all the best wishes!

My best friend and his partner had similar problems, and the baby that was due at the end of October was born in mid-August. I had to take the shaking but proud father to make the birth declaration and then rush to a hypermarket with him to buy all sorts of things earlier than expected. Six years later, Lisa is a delightful little girl and no one thinks back to those scary days.

Hello to Christina!

Congratulations and best wishes!

Congratulations! Daughters are incredible.

Hold her close to your heart, that will help her thrive.

congrats, deborah
