Auntie Sam and Uncle Lee came to see me this afternoon and saw me being fed - then they held my hand and told me how sweet I am. They also took some pictures to show me off to Uncle Faff and Auntie Tash this evening. Have a nice evening and thanks for dropping in to see me.

When you're on a roll...

I did it! I did it! I got upgraded to Nursery 3. No more monitors on my foot, no more hotcots. I have one sensor under my mattress which is to make sure I don't get out of my cot and book myself a taxi home I think. Now all I have to do is start feeding from the boob, but I'm in no rush - besides my dad tells me I have the rest of my life to be obsessed with breasts!

I did it!

Another 80g and another objective achieved! I made it to my target weight...

Check out my Crib

Someone get MTV on the phone - I want to show them around! Here's my new crib, as promised. You'll also notice that I am wearing a rather fetching beany hat. This hat was knitted by my devoted Nana this summer in Italy. She thought it would be too small for me so she knitted me another... little did she know! Daddy says it looks like a condom but I don't know what he means. Do you?

4 Generations

I could hardly get a word in edge ways with these 3 around me! Thanks to great-nannie for knitting me a micro-cardie in record time and to grandma for buying me this cute blue outfit I'm wearing in this shot. It is nice to have some clothes that fit.

They have upgraded my bed again. As I am now regulating my own temperature I'm in a new cot - the same type as all the big boys and girls are put in when they are born. I'll take some pictures of it later tonight for you. I will also get weighed again tonight so with any luck that will tick-off the second of my three goals - only one left before I get to go home.

Nearly there

I put on another 55g this morning - I am now 1720g or 3lbs 13oz. You can quickly convert pounds and ounces to kilos and grams here.

2 weeks old

I passed my 2-week birthday this afternoon, my umbilical cord fell off and I get weighed again this evening. All going well I will get upgraded to room 3 in a few days - one step closer to the door.

Presents, presents, presents

It seems that Santa did visit me in hospital - I woke up to the biggest stocking I've ever had... ok the only stocking I've ever had. I hope he observed the strict hand-washing routine here... once at the main door and once next to my cot. [Note to mummy and daddy... my stocking has to be bigger than me every year, even when I am a big boy.]

I also got 2 new friends, Winnie the Pooh with a 'Love from Santa' jumper and a bear with a blue outfit from grandma and grandad (the one I am pointing to). I'm running a competition for whoever comes up with the best name for the bear on the blue outfit so add your suggestion in the comments section below this post - simply click the word 'comments'. The winner is guaranteed a hug from me as soon as I come out of the SCBU. What a prize!

I got my first book for Christmas too - but books are for geeks so I'm covering my face.

Big Foot

Here's an image from the card my nurses helped me make for my mum and dad.

Christmas Day 2006

This is the card I sent to daddy this morning... and it is true - I put on 60g since my last weigh-in, so now I am back up to my birth weight.

Christmas Eve 2006

My uncle Jem and auntie Mary came over to see me this afternoon. I'd been wriggling quite a bit in the morning so was tired and sleepy when they came. I think mummy and daddy were tired too, because they forgot the camera so no pictures today I'm afraid - maybe they had been up late the night before wrapping my presents?

I think I have secured all the pressies I am going to get this year as the shops are now closed, however, my thoughts are now turning to the New Year. I know you are probably thinking I am too young to have New Years' Resolutions, but I have them any way

Goal 1: Get to at least 1.8kg / 4lbs
Goal 2: Regulate my own body temperature
Goal 3: Feed myself (not with a knife and fork; from the boob!)

I get weighed again tomorrow and as my food intake has increased again to 31ml every 3 hours, I am hoping to have piled on the weight. Once I achieve my 3 goals I get to go home.
