Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Just one more for now................

Couldn't resist to show you Jonathan's first set of shades:

Mommy and Alexander after the birth:

Jonathan in NICU- doesn't he look just like Christopher here?

Alexander just out:

Mandy- yes mum insisted on bring a blow up mattress and staying for the week so i couldn't say no LOL but it will really be a huge help what with Elwyn having to go back to work this week and me having to do the NICU visits.

I thought i would take advantage of my baby sleeping and post some pics for their favorite aunties?

Jonathan just out:

Vix wow ! Tou even taught the nurse a thing or two ! So very pleased you got to hold jonothan *nd that he was so happy in your arms. How is his weight at present and how long are you expecting before he is home ? How is alex doing at home ?

Girls......... I have progress!!!

I HELD Jonathan for the first time today! Man I was nervous and I actually told the sister I didn't want to but she told me straight that I have no choice but to try and bond with my son. Man it was so sweet, he was so happy in my arms he just gazed at me and when he could smell my milk (I had just fed Alexander) he startedsearching for my boob! It was pretty awsome! He started taking a bottle this morning so no more tube feeding. Sister started feeding him with the NUK teats and she said he is having a few issues sucking. So I told her C never took to the NUK and even Alex last week hated the NUK they were giving top ups with so she tried an old fashioned pigeon teat just a plain straight long teat and she couldn't believe her eyes the whole 8ml was gone in a few seconds! She was gobsmacked and I was super impressed by yet another one of my NUK defying children. They really do hate the size of the NUK teats. So now................. She says maybe tomorrow we can try................... Putting him on the breast!!!!!!! I can't believe it, so soon! Wow yippie I'm so excited to get in tomorrow and just see if maybe maybe maybe he's well enough for us to attempt it! Alex loves the breast and has a fantastic suck as did C and I'm sure Jonathan is going to love it!

C is coming home tomorrow morning, can't wait to see his reaction to Alexander!

O.k will try to post some pics tomorrow, just on my phone now and haven't touched the PC yet sorry!
