Coming home has been pretty exciting. The first night I was too excited to sleep. I’ve been sleeping better since the midwife showed mum and dad a different swaddle, which nice and comfy for me but I can’t wriggle out of so easily.
Here’s the latest photos of me at home.

Woohoo!!!
The pediatricians and surgeons checked me out this morning and said I was fine to leave. So this afternoon, mum and dad took me home. I’m loving it so far, and I’m definitely not interested in sleeping - it’s all far too exciting! I’m going to stay up all night!!!
There are some new photos.

They kept me on the ventilator until lunchtime today, and finally gave me a little bit of milk at teatime. But i finished it all in less than 3 minutes, and was still well hungry! I think I’ll get out of intensive care tomorrow.

I now weight more than 2kg! (see growth chart).
The surgeon came and poked me very early this morning. I’m going to have keyhole surgery on monday. Being poked about was all a bit upsetting, and spoilt my whole day.
In my state of upset, I wriggled around quite a lot and scratched my face this morning, you can see the damage in my latest photos.

My operation has been scheduled for Monday 12th June. The doctors will give me a general anaesthetic, and sort out my hernias. Then a few days later I’ll be free to leave hospital!!
I’m very nearly 2kg now!

Now I’m big enough to go home, the reason I’m still in hospital is because I need an operation to fix my hernias. The surgeons are very busy, not sure when they will be able to fit me in. I might even have to go home first, if the waiting list is too long. The operation won’t be too serious, but is under general anaesthetic.
Mum gave me a bath today. It was better than when the nurses do it.
