William's Progress





William was moved from Room 9 of the NICU to Room 2 today (9 Nov 07) - a small step forward and one both Paul and I are pleased about - primarily because Room 2 is a smaller nursery, much quieter and darker. Room 9 was a bit of a thoroughfare for doctors and other parents to other rooms and always had the lights on bright - which William doesn't like - naturally!!

William put on 51 grams over the last 3 days and now weighs 1301 grams and he is filling out and has very cute chubby cheeks.

William and I have a cuddle every day which he settles into quickly and falls asleep while I read Pooh Bear stories to him. He knows my voice and when he is upset he settles quickly when I sing to him (no jokes now!!)

Paul changes William's nappy and a couple of times now William has caught his Dad out - dirtying a clean nappy before Paul has had a chance to get it on him - and once peeing over Paul while he was putting cream on his bottom!!! Good Boy William!!

Paul took the second photo last weekend - I've included my wedding rings so you can get an idea of how little he is and the first shot of William without his hat and prongs was taken today (9 Nov 07) when it was taken off for a couple of minutes so Paul could give his little head a massage.
