181207 - UK


Mary Ann is two months old now today. As usual the staff took her picture. I dressed her in the suit from Auntie Cath. Oh my, she looks so "growen up" and adorable - why shouldn't she? I took a nice picture of her. The suit which is size "tiny baby" fits well and will fit her for a couple for weeks, I will guess. And it is very warm which is perfect for these cold days where we started having minus degrees this week.

Our first night with her here at the hospital went well. Neil had her the whole evening unto 2am and I had her from 2am to 11am. We had to figure out how to make sure we didn't wake up eact other. I found it hard that Neil woke me up every time he turned on the light and opend the door. At home it will be easier. Then he can stay in the living room while I sleep in the bedroom and the other way around.

It worries me that Neil seem so tired today. He slept for many hours. At home he could easily be awake to 2am and up again at 7-8am. I hope it's because he's not use to sleep at hospitals.

It is a lot easier for me. Because I'm use to sleep here and because I can fall a sleep right away again and for a short periode without problems. Thought, I don't like to be woken up every five
minutes.
It seems as we can get home Thursday. She eats very well. Neil had her to eat 40-65ml last night. And she had 70ml three times in the night and morning with me. Maybe she is a night person like Neil and Cecilie. I was kind of hoping she could look more like me.
Another mother said yesterday that Mary Ann looks like Neil. I said that so does Cecilie after my oppinion. She said "No, Cecilie looks so much like you". Then I had the break the news for her: I'm not Cecilie's real mum. So I guess who's looking like who is a matter of the eyes of the beholder.
I better be back so I can get some sleep. I just need to see my own hospital nurse first regarding my new medicine which is working well.
