Matt has progressed to an open cot. He got weighed on Monday and is 1698g. You are supposed to be over 1800g to go into an open cot but Matt likes to be swaddled and you cant do that in an isolette so we made the decision to put him in a cot and he is keeping his temperature nicely so well that now he doesn't even have a warmer going and doesn't have many blankets on just a swaddle and 1 blanket and just a singlet. He did have a jumpsuit on but a new nurse took that off instead of turning the bed warmer down but he is coping well. He looks so small in his bed but so cute i have been trying to upload a photo but it is hard on the laptop wireless so when i go home on Thursday i will try to upload as many as i can from home.
Cuddles, i have had my first really long cuddle and loved it and so did Matt he coped so well on Monday. I had some tears but the wait was really worth it. It was a shame that Darryl wasn't here but he had to work. A nurse got all excited with our new camera and took some lovely shots of me and Matt and then i took some of him in his new bed with clothes on. Darryl will be back on Friday so hopefully we will get some nice shots of Father and Son it will be nice to see my two favourite boys together.
Matt is coping well on CPAP IMV he was breathing too fast for the first few days but i think he has slowed down a bit now and is being really good. They are even thinking of trialling him on full cpap. The machines go off all the time cos he needs to close his mouth so he doesn't loose pressure with machine so i am constantly putting his dummy in his mouth.
He has a dummy now and likes it we are even putting milk on his dummy when it is feed time if he is awake and he loves it, we first did it on Monday when i was having my cuddle it was so nice he is becoming a real baby and not a preemie now.
