Grumpy Angels

Charlie

Another eventful weigh in day.

Charlie

Charlie has been quite grumpy this week. He's been getting a bit of a reputation. A nurse told me he'd been crying a lot overnight when he needed his nappy changing. 'He's a demanding baby.' she says. I just figured something was up and it looks like I might be right (rather than judgemental nurse). He's been on fortifier with his milk to try to get his weight up quickly. Now they are thinking its giving him tummy ache. They gave him 2 feeds without today and he's been an angel baby.

Lex

The problem is that it is working. He's 3 pound 7 today (up 3 ounces). He's catching up! He's still in High Dependency on high flow but hopefully not for too much longer.

Lex

Lex has had a grumpy week too. He's had his first cold and his nickname has been Mr Snuffleupagus. It has been quite cute for me though as the best thing to settle him has been cuddles with us.

Beth

Today he has weighed in at 4 pounds! Giant baby! There is also further big news but this will come below...

Beth

Beth has not had a grumpy week. She sleeps and then looks around serenely, occasionally she squeeks. Today the Sister warned me that we should start planning for what we would do if Beth was sent home before the boys. 'It won't happen this week.' she said.

She's 3 pound 10 today (up 2 ounces) so is doing very well.

Today was very exciting as, as well as Aunty Elaine visiting, Beth and Lex were moved into a shared cot. They didnt exactly cuddle but there wasn't tears and violence either.

It was also super cute and I had to be dragged away. Can't wait for Charlie to be in there too.

Seriously - how cute is that?

Gorgeous presents received this week - onesies from Uncle Gareth and Uncle David, knitted hats, mittens and booties from Aunty Alex and Uncle Mike, handmade quilt from Aunty Linda and Uncle John (pictures of this to follow once there is sunlight enough to do it justice!).
