Day 59

Sunday (Day 58) was spent in the morning at Breakfast with Santa. Max was so keen to sit on Santa's lap and tell him who he was and what he wanted for breakfast it was fantastic, especially in comparison to last year when Max wanted nothing to do with Santa at all.


Today at the hospital, I had a cuddle with Alice and so did Scott. She is doing really well. Her weight is now 2030 grams (4.5 pounds).


Her feeds have been switched from the gravity feeds to feeding her over 30 minutes. She was dipping in her breathing with the gravity feeds.

She was moved back into a crib today as well (after cuddles). Hopefully she'll last in it longer than last time.

For tomorrow's cuddle, the nurse is going to remove all breathing tubes. So it will be Alice breathing all on her own. This is a HUGE step. Hopefully it goes well and she lasts a while - even if she doesn't last the whole cuddle, it will still be an exciting time.

  1. Love the photos. She looks so sweet in the blue sleeper. And her tiny hand next to Scott's. She's coming on!
