Can you notice something different about me today? I'm wearing clothes! When mummy came in this morning she found me dressed to impress in this lovely t-shirt. I wore it once before a couple of weeks ago, but I'm hoping that I can start to wear clothes all the time now. Mummy is going to put my name into all my clothes so they don't get lost. I have also started sucking my dummy, which is great fun. If I was still inside mummy I wouldn't start sucking until I was 34 weeks old, so I am doing well to suck when I am only 32 weeks and 5 days old! I am getting very fat, as you can see from my photo. Guess how much I weigh? - a whopping 2lb 15oz - only 1 more ounce and then I'll be 3lb. Mummy and daddy will be very proud of me when I reach this milestone - let just hope I keep tolerating my food well. I am now back on 2ml of milk per hour, and this will increase to 2.5ml per hour at midnight tonight. I had to have my cannula replaced today, this is so that I can be given antibiotics and nutrition directly into my bloodstream. The one on my foot wasn't working any more, so they put a new one into my arm. I hate having cannulas put in - I didn't make it easy for the doctors, and waved my arms and legs a lot! Mummy held me again today, and I lay against her chest. It was very comfortable , and it meant the nurse could change my bedding whilst I was out of my incubator, so everything was nice and clean.

Writing this Sat. a.m. Three weeks old today, Harriet! Wonderful to see you growing and getting stronger and learning important things like sucking. Benedict (who still sucks his fingers when he's tired) is looking forward to showing you his toys and he says he knows how to be very gentle with babies... lots of love, Anna
