Hiya. Had a very peaceful nights sleep last night and here i am again.












Everybody has been very busy this morning getting things ready and prepared, for in a few weeks time...

Santa is coming!!

The ward has a nice big christmas tree on it now. ynette, who has been looking after me ever so much, came and grabbed my mum and dad and made them put some decorations on the tree just for me. That is because like a few other babies i am going to be here on christmas day.











Right on to some news about me.


As you can see from this photo my drip machine has gone.

This is because last night they got made feeds up to 5mls. At this point i no longer the need the glucose to make up the difference and so i am just on milk now which is great.

What they would like is for me to have regained my birth weight within 7-14 days.




How i get fed is a little bit different now, because the amount i am having has increased.

It is still done through a syringe, but now it is left to drop into my stomach by gravity rather than being pushed into it.

Now i did get up to 6.5mls this afternoon when mum came, but i was also a little bit sick. The midwives are not too concerned but they are going to keep an eye on it

Another thing i have had today is a head scan

Yes i can just hear Kimbo saying that dad should have one of those.

The head scan is very similar to the kind of scan that is done when babies are still inside their mums.

It is done to determine whetther there is any bleeding inside my head or on the brain.

I have had my second of these now and both have been negative.





I have been having a quieter day today I have not had many visitors but here is one new person.

It is not very clear as she does not like having her picture taken, but this is my Auntie Ellen.

She is my mum's friend and the mum of Natasha, Kirsty and Lindsay.

Unfortunately i was not very obliging for her and spent most of the time fast asleep.






The docotrs came round the ward this morning and had a good old talk about me. They are very happy i am doing so well. Mum asked the doctor a question about my eyes, as i have not opened them yet. He had a look and he said that the left eye is ok but the right is still 'fused' a bit.

So i guess i can't put it off any longer. I had better have a look at this strange world.

Oh. It's not that bad actually.
And dad has had a shave and cut his hair.
He looks a bit like me now, except for my pretty pink hat.















Apparently Grandma is now knitting lots of clothes. However she has had to buy a dolls pattern for me because i am so small!!

Ok so that's all my news for today.

Mum is not coming to see me tonight as she is very tired so i am going to just see my dad.

And i am very fortunate as Uncle Kimbo was going to drag him off for a golf lesson.

So another good day for me. Dad calls me Gollum now, which i think is a little unfair. He says its because i have such big feet and hands. At least it takes some of the heat off of Lindsay. Now if i could only get her to teach me how to speak like Gollum, that would scare my dad!!

By for now.
