No room at the inn...

Breast feeding, well suck feeding... I'm pretty good at it, even the nurses were complimenting me. My ability to breast feed is excellent, they say. Mummy believes them too! Although sometimes I wave my head around trying to find the nipple to latch on to, when Mummy spots a wide open mouth she tries to stick it in, just when I close it a bit and I suck right on the end... and she scrunches her face up because it hurts; she mutters a few words but I can't quite understand what '****, ***, ****' means!

I'm still off of vapotherm but am having just a smidge of oxygen sometimes. 0.02% actually, which does the trick. This means tubes up the nose again, but Daddy says that I'm still portable, so that's OK.

The doctors and consultants say that I'm an A-side baby now... typically though, there's no room for me! Before now I graduated because I had to, now I did it all by myself but with nowhere to go - I've to wait even longer to see Harriet - which I'm quite upset about!

I'm 5lbs 10oz's ish now... over 2500g's, over 2.5kilos, in the realms of normality! Mummy's milk isn't being fortified any more, I only put on 4g's last night - every 'g' counts though!
