Day 12

Mum and dad been in twice today. Always a thrill (yeah right). Some modest success breastfeeding, although not enough to do without a top-up.

Dad changed me in the afternoon ...

How's that for cute?

We both fell asleep after the feed. Awesome.

My parents have been shopping today. They had a long list of stuff. Got through most of it today, and my room is filling up. Can't wait to rampage that.

Day 11

Easy peasy at the nursery. Little progress on the breastfeeding front. Now off the electric blanket and still toasty.

Day 10

I'm starting to enjoy these long naps. So much so that waking up is a proper exercise. Just look at me!

Another big day. First attempt to feed on the breast (mum's, if you have to ask). I've got good instinct but zero practice. It'll come in time.

Dad usually finishes the feeding job via tube. Makes me a happy camper every time. Although mum thinks I look daft and gnome-like with these clothes. Dad rates them.

Back to sleep. Mmmh

Day 9

I managed to spend a night without so much as a tiny issue. That means I'm out of NICU and off to the nursery. Yay!

Mum's a proud camper. Too right!

Days 6-8

Good progress again. I'm spending more and more time breathing without assistance, and more time cuddling. I'm doing better with the jaundice too. Not sure whether that entitles mum to steal my shades. Oh well. If it keeps her happy for a while she might as well.

Now off the CPAP for good. No more sticky stuff on my face, and the feeding tube now goes through my nose. Much more comfortable!

Lots of nice people are thinking of me. They're sending lots of flowers.

The weather outside is stunning. The end of an astonishingly good summer
