    That's great. I still remember my first born and the excitement even though it was 41 yrs and 6 days ago. But he was not early, he went 8#6oz and just kept going from there.
    She will grow fast.

    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Default Congrats

    Congratulations to you and your wife. My daughter was also born at 32 weeks. Being in Buxton you're probably in Portland. My daughter was born there and their NICU is top notch. They do a great job and I believe they're rated as one of the top NICU's in the U.S.
