Hi all..

Rhys is in a babygrow! A wee dinky one which is still too big for him but he looks well cute. Only got one arm in as he's had to have another line put back in his arm for another medication drip but it's nothing to worry too much about apparently. A few levels of good and bad stuff in his blood going up and down a bit but they don't seem too concerned, it's just a balancing act to get it right. There's still talk of moving rooms soon

We're going to have an evening out of the hospital tonight. Going to get fish and chips from the chippy near my parents house and take them back there to eat, then OH is leaving me there so I can have a soak on the bath and wash and straighten my hair properly whilst watching the Big Brother launch show, then Mum will bring me back here afterwards. OH is going to our house to check on progress and chill out playing online for a few hours.

Feel guilty for having an evening out - and like it sounds like I'm putting watching BB before my son, which I'm honestly not - but then I know we need to spend more time away from the hospital to get used to the idea for when we go home and Rhys still has to stay here a while longer.

With the move to the next room for Rhys, it frees up a space in intensive care which means they can take another very sick baby and then they would need a room for that baby's parents and we might have to move out. In reality, we know there are mum's staying here with "weller" babies than Rhys so they will have to go first, but there are four intensive care beds and four parent flats, so if they had enough nurses to actually open all of those beds, they may need all the flats for those babies' parents.

I'm curious but at the moment I daren't ask what kind of stage he has to get to to be able to come home. He was so sick this time last week but now seems to have come on remarkably and there's more and more talk of WHEN he comes home, rather than if. The consultant even asked if the nurses had tried bottle feeding him this morning, although they actually think he's "not quite there yet" (QUITE?! :eek:)

Anyway, must take myself off to the dairy again... TTFN all xx

It's called 'sane time' Elle. You do need to get a break from the hospital. Having a baby in NICU is surreal and if you don't go and get away from it every now and again you will go round the bend! Enjoy your night away, once he gets home there won't be a chance haha!

Glad to hear he is doing better, knew he'd get there in the end!

Sami - what about a voucher to go and pamper yourself after you have had the baby? With a promise of a baby sitter?

I've found my Christmas list so I'm gonna re-hash it tbh I won't want to leave baby for ages (I don't like sharing my bubba while they still are happy to sit still:p)
My main prob was I'm getting a charm bracelet so want Charms but now I can't find any I like!

Beenie - I like carrots or carrot n swede mash with corned beef hash so I reckon it'd go

I agree Elle, sometimes watching mindless tv (for me its qvc but big brother would do) is just what you need when everything else around you is frantic.

So pleased Rhys is taking steps in the right direction. Can we have pics of him in his babygro pretty please. xx

Elle - everything sounds promising *subdued not tempting fate yey!* hopefully you'll be able to stay in the parent flat until home is ready so if you do have to leave ur still close.
I'm so proud of him for being such a little trooper! xxx

Just found out the junior below me at work has been offered by job on maternity cover and the company are getting in someone new to do his job. I only found out when he had accepted! Does anyone else think I have a right to be miffed?

I haven't even handed in my MATB1 yet!

How about 2 different veggies to go with the hash?

well yes n no, It would be nice to have asked your opinion but they don't have to or anything. I would be miffed if they've done it officially tho as apposed to just asking him casually
