While he is still so more and fragile, the initial fragility has been replaced by something more resilient. He has been asserting himself, his life, his needs. Like yesterday when he was inconsolable - because his nappy was dirty. How could we?
The physical closeness does change things for us as well. It makes the bond more real a greater sense of his belonging to us. (Rather than a child of "the machine").
But I am getting impatient for his homecoming, for a time when we can have him part of our everyday lives and can experience all those parent and baby moments that are part of those first months. Just have to be patient.
But I am forgetting that this is his blog not mine.
He is breathing fine so the tube has not had to go back in. He now gets 7ml of milk every 3 hours and seems to be digesting it fine - he had done 2 poo's and 2 wee's between 7 and 11am today. He was weighed in at 845g today, we had been warned that he was expected to loose in his first week.
That's the stuff that he is actually about right now. Sleep, breathe, eat, wee, poo.
The simple life.

Wow, it's so amazing to see the progress. I've really enjoyed Rain's story thus far.
Wonderful to see and hear of the progress the little chap is making. You must have been really happy to be able to hold that tiny bundle in your arms for a little while too.
