Oh my. So many things have happened now. MAC is out of the crib, dressed in clothes and with out monitoring except one; oxygen saturation monitor. She has put on almost doublet then expected per day since Thursday. That gives her a weight on 1410g. I feel like I have a baby now and not just a premature. It is also a lot easier to make contact with MAC from today. We can have her close by as we don’t have glass between her and us any longer. She also got a bigger size dummy. But I really need to get some normal clothes for her instead of the hospital clothes she is wearing today. We have some friends who have tiny clothes from their twins. I will contact them ASAP.
Cecilie is back here again so we had a short day with MAC. Especially I had, since I had to go to one of my regular check up’s at another hospital and had a meeting with a social adviser. All my appointments all the time with doctors and advisers make me even more certain that it’s a good thing that Neil has the maternity leave and not I. I can’t take maternity leave from all that but only from my part time job. So this arrangement gives MAC a better routine, more constant and stable care and my self more peace at mind. I did have some struggles about it. Now I have come to the conclusion that I’m a better mum because I can admit and act after the fact that Neil is more capable of taking good care of her. I have other skills like taking care of Cecilie and her homework and other administrative tasks in our daily life. Plus writing this for especially Neil’s family. So I stick to those skills and enjoy the fact that Neil is such a wonderful and caring dad – and husband.
