We've had a couple of premmie babies delivered to colleagues recently.

Three of the female officers in our Detector Dog Unit at work were
expecting - two of them went early, within a week of each other. One at 30
weeks - Angus weighed 1.6kg (56 ounces) and the other at almost 28 weeks -
Matilda weighed 800g (28 ounces). Both are doing pretty well - little
fighters.

The third is crossing her legs tightly :-) She's a tiny little thing who's
already had dramas with this pregnancy (much wanted - an IVF baby), so
we're keeping our fingers crossed she has no more problems.
