Well, today was the first full day of my new feeding regime, and I have done well so far. I breast fed 3 times with mummy and had a bit of a top up with the bottle too. I am using new bottles which are the ones I'll be using at home, and they are much better than the one I had yesterday. I don't seem to be holding my temperature very well. Every time the nurse takes it, it's lower than it should be, despite the fact that I am wrapped
up like it's Winter! I now have 4 blankets over me, as well as a sheet and the fleece. I also have a cardigan over my babygro and vest, and the nurses put this wooly hat on me as well. I don't like being all swaddled up like that, I can't move my arms - so I whinged a bit! The nurses think that I'm cold because of my low haemoglobin. They may put me into a heated cot if my temperature doesn't pick up. Anyway, I'll have a good sleep tonight, so that I'm ready for my sucking feeds again tomorrow.

I'm with you on the 'wrap-up warm' front. Why have one blanket when you can have four? Take care, Mx
Hello Harriet
I have been reading your blog every day so that I can keep up with how well you are doing - keep up the good work! Chris and I have been praying very hard for you and your mummy and daddy - looks like everyone's prayers and all your hard work are doing the trick.
Your spelling and punctuation are already very good - I wonder if mummy has been helping you a bit!
Anyway, best wishes to you and mummy and daddy, and we hope to see you soon!
With love
