A lot has happened since my last update. William has had his 2 month immunisations, he weighs over 2.9 kilograms, he is learning to breast feed, he has come off oxygen and he has been transferred to Cabrini Hospital in Malvern. His ETA for coming home is around the 10th January after his hernia operation on the 8th January.
It took us three attempts to get William transferred, the first attempt didn't happen because William had a reaction to his immunisations so we had to wait for him to stabilise and then the second attempt was at the end of a big day activity wise for William and he simply didn't want any more interaction so his stats jumped around a lot and the nurses decided it was best to leave him where he was. So the third attempt was successful and we arrived at Cabrini on Wednesday 19th Dec. He has settled in well, it is a much quieter nursery with no sick babies as such and the plan is to get him feeding well and to have his hernia operation before coming home around the 10th January - 10 days before his due date and 3 months after he was born.
The beauty of being closer to home means I can go in and out of the nursery across the day instead of spending 8 hours there in a row - it means I can have a break, get a few things done at home and be back in time for his next feed.

Paul, William and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to introducing you to our gorgeous boy when he is home and settled in.
