Yet another good chat with the staff today. They kind of promised us that we could have a family room for both Neil and I when we are hospitalized with Mary Ann. They asked us how we prefer things. That was new. It’s a long explanation, so the short form is that a lot of things were planned for our satisfaction. That was of course great.
We had our first talk with the health visitor. That took two hours which were well spent. The funny thing was that she is also Cecilie’s health visitor at Cecilie’s school, so we had already met her before. She asked us how we had experienced the pregnancy, my sudden illness and the dramatic c-section. We also talked about our daily life at home and at the ward. The health visitor called us a very dynamic couple. I don’t know that she meant with that but I reckon it’s a good thing. So I think we had a good communication. I have looked forward to meet her. Especially since I never ever really had any meeting with the midwife. Everything went so quickly with my pregnancy. So I saw this meeting as good opportunity instead of the mid wife.


Mary Ann is now 1705g. That is a weight gain at 160g since Thursday. She was supposed to bee 100g heavier. So she is still doing very well.

AND she had her first bath today. She didn’t cry as we expected her to. She had her eyes right open and was a little unsecured about the whole situation. But she didn’t say a word/sound.



I ended the day with water aerobic again! Hurrah, for I have really missed it. My plan is to go 3 times a week again.
