Today was a very good day and it's not even over yet. Not only did i get to be held by Mummy, I also got my additional oxygen turned off. Now I'm breathing the same air as you. It feels great and everybody is so proud of me.
This afternoon was very funny. At 5:00pm my folks came to change my nappy. My friend in the incubator next door, I had heard, had done a massive 'poo'. Imagine that, not only can he produce something that I can't, he goes and makes a massive one. I'm starting to put the pieces together of this puzzle, when my Mum and Dad open my nappy they say 'just wee' (just!) Then my Dad massages my tummy. I don't really like that, but - it gave me a thought - perhaps, Perhaps what I'm meant to do is try harder to pee and then a poo might appear. With my nappy now removed I gave it a shot, aided by my Dads hand pushing on my belly, something appeared! It was yellow and blasted up in the air. Cool! It reached the perimeter of my incubator and dribbled down the side. Mum and Dad found this hilarious! Had I done the fabled 'poo'? I tried to focus in on their conversation. "Quick put a nappy over him!! Stop his pee!" Oh, I hadn't. It was clearly another pee. A very impressive and visible variety of pee. I wondered if my next door neighbour could reach the side of his incubator? I bet he couldn't. He's too busy showing off with his poo producing abilities.
After being fed (mummy's turn) - it was Daddy's turn to cuddle me. This time, the nurse said "It's your turn to take Felix out by yourself". I could see my Dad was excited. I braced myself carefully for his big hands to pick me up and shut my eyes in anticipation. He very skillfully whisked me away from my incubator and carefully placed me onto his bare chest. He smelt very peculiar today so I cried in protest. Nothing changed, he still smelt, so I settled down and fell asleep.
After 30 minutes he put me back into my incubator very carefully. I could see his huge smile. I could see my Mum's huge smile. I saw them give each other a hug and kiss. Big people are so easy to please.
Before they left, the Nurse showed them how to flip me over onto my preferred sleeping position, my belly. The second I'm on my belly, I sleep.
I feel sleepy.
What a fun day.

Dear Hasler Family,
ReplyDeleteI'm Laura, Kirsty's big sister and she sent me the link for your blog. We just wanted to write to tell you guys to keep your chins up and keep positive. The SCBU nurses are always great and I'm sure they'll take great care of all three of you. We had an early little baby (not as little as Felix at 4lb 11oz) in January but it's amazing how quickly they grow!
Felix - keep eating well and everything else will follow on. Enjoy the blue sunbed and keep behaving for your Mum and Dad. When you're a bigger boy and escape the SCBU, your Mum and Dad can let us know via Kirsty and we'll send you some tiny baby clothes to wear.
Lots of love,
Laura, James and Freddie
