Catch up


Okay a little catch up while i have a little time. We have moved bays so that means we are very stable it is still part of NICU but less intensive and less noisy and busy. When we went there on Monday the nurse in charge came in and said baby simpson to bay 5 we were happy and packed up all of Matt's stuff and was ready for the move, but it took another 2hrs for the staff to move the other baby down to another area, in the end our nurses moved the other baby so we could move in. So now Matt has a new address Bay 5 bed 5 and so far is doing well there lol. When we moved they decided to but him on bubble cpap and he is doing well with that it just means they dont need to move the more expensive machine over there.


Also Matt has reached the 2kg club and i think he now weighs 2031 i think but i think he gets weighed again today.


Boob contact didnt go aswell as expected but it really wasnt his fault. I was running late so he was already STARVING you would think we have never fed him for ages so all he wanted was FOOD and NOW. He is so like his dad and loves his food. Well he fussed around at the boobs and didnt want to play so we started feeding him via his tube and somehow we must have pulled the tube out a little and all of a sudden he brought up all of his milk. So the poor baby had to have the tube removed and positioned in the nose, but he had gunk in his nose so he had to be suctioned out then it went in ok. Thats how we got the pic of no tapes etc on his face but it was the quickest pic taking we could do and probably not the best angle, his cheeks looks so huge lol.


After he was fed and dressed again the poor baby still had to have his third eye check up and that must be painful for them as they have to keep there eyes open with clips and his eyes looked really red when we got back but the news was all good his eyes are much better and we only need a check up in 6 months.


Also i forgot to mention that Matt has his 2 month injections on Monday aswell. The dr and said he would have 1 on Monday and the 2nd one on Tuesday, but when the nurse came to do it they said to do the 2 on the same day poor baby did well let off a scream but was easily calmed down, the nurse noticed Matt has a birth mark on his leg a cute little freckle. Matt must be the toughest as all of the other babies had there injections over 2 days and he coped well only needed another 3% oxygen for the day.
