Hello everyone :wave:

Well after a restless night of feeling sick all the time, Chris got up with Dylan this morning and I got a couple of hours sleep and feel a little bit better. Went to MILs for lunch and didnt eat much, but I at least kept it down, so heres hoping I will feel better again by tomorrow.

Elle you were asking about mittens last night, I got 2 pairs of wool ones in primark for £1 and sewed a bit of wool to them to thread through the coat arms.

I never got either child weighed very often, but will look out their graphs later and list them to get added to the list too

Hope you have all had a nice day so far

Oh ta. I've never looked in Primark for baby clothes - the kids section is right at the back so I always forget it's there. Don't even know if ours stock baby clothes.. will go investigate next time I'm in town

Glad you're feeling better xx

ETA: I've been in touch with our fav neonatal nurse on FB (already friends on there). She also works on Children's ward so she's answered some questions for me. Take the meds and we give them (as there are so many) and just sign the nurses sheet; EBM goes in Neonatal fridge as there isn't one on Children's and they'll set me up a steriliser for his bottles; yes, I can stay in a reclining chair, which is what OH slept in when he stayed in hospital with me whilst I was still on maternity

Hi'all

Sorry I've been out of action for a couple of days, a combination of laptop problems & Marley's health problems

Good news to report though, Andrew was taken off Cpap yesterday morning at 6am (as part of his 14/4hr routine) but has yet to be put back on! That's 36 hours by now! He's on 0.04l LF O2 through nasal cannula, though only when the cannula are in place, he has the most annoying habit of pulling them down into his mouth or under his chin! The Cpap unit appears dismantled, so I'm guessing that's it :j :j

He was dressed again today, in a very cute "I love Daddy / I love Mummy" babygro. So I had my first experience of wiggling legs out of a babygro to change his nappy.

He was weighed and, after a midweek dip, he's now up to 3lb 1.5oz - and his feeds increase yet again. He's catching me up, now on 300ml EBM a day, against my production rate of 360ml. And they've changed him to a nasal gastric tube - no comment as to why, but perhaps somebody's taken note of me asking whether the oral tube would cause problems with BF as he couldn't lick or move his tongue. I'm going to try seeing if he'll latch on tomorrow.

Enough about us, can anyone do me a summary of the last couple of days? Or did I not miss much?

Mine wasn't that expensive

But, even if it was, I would buy it again and again and again - I LOVE IT!!!

When we went away we met a family who also own a Stokke! I have never met anyone else with one before. We didn't have ours and they didn't have theirs (didn't trust the airline with them) but Benjamin had his Stokke blanket and so the mum spoke to me about it. They said the same, they love it and it was the best purchase that they had made for their daughter

We felt a little smug in our Stokke-owning-club

I've met 1 other person with one and spotted another from afar both the turquoise one, if I got one it would be red

or sell it to pay for another?
