Wireless Baby!

Charlie
It was weigh in day today. Todays news is illustrated by Hannah's photo's, which is why they are much better than normal.

Charlie

Charlie was moved back to High Dependency and put back on CPAP. He was also put on antibiotics and something must have worked because he is off CPAP again onto High Flow. Once he gets back to Low Flow then he's back with his brother and sister.

The better news is that he's gained A LOT of weight and is now 3 pound 4 (up 8 ounces - I think there may have been an error somewhere!)! Giant baby!

Lex is doing well in his cot. It's really lovely to be able to pick both him and Beth up whenever we like - something other parents take for granted! He's taken to grizzling when I'm feeding Beth so a few times this week I've ended up feeding Beth with Lex over my shoulder. He's now 3 pound 12 (up 2 ounces).

Beth

Beth
Two nurses have asked me this week if we have been spoken to about Beth coming home! No-one has but she's obviously moving towards it quicker than the other two. We have been assured that they'd try to send all 3 home together but I suppose it depends how things go.

Beth has only put a few grams on so is still 3 pound 10 but she's off all monitoring so is now wireless (except for a feeding tube). It means dressing her so much easier than the krypton factor version of before.

Me, Lex, Hannah, Andrea and Ted looking a bit happy

  2. Great news about Beth. I feel like I'm reliving it all with you, lovelies. Charly will get there just keep talking to him. Try not to worry - the same thing happened to George a month in and he's 8 tomorrow and enormous. Get lots of sleep now because you will be seriously deprived or is it depraved when they get home. I remember the 3 am calls to the hospital just so you can get to sleep. All that weeing through pregnancy is good practice for nocturnal happenings I found. They are gorgeous pictures. You have a beautiful family x
