Another Full Day in the Hospital for All Three of Us

Mum and Dad spent all day in the hospital with Natalie again, which was especially nice for Dad as he is at work most of the day during the week. Today was much more relaxed than yesterday now we have confirmed we can manage OK with Mum coming home overnight and keeping up with expressing every 3 hours. So we got to enjoy some time with Natalie, who was on fine form today. Her oxygen levels appeared much better than a couple of days ago and she was lively and awake some of the time. Dad is becoming expert at feeding and nappy changing with two whole days of practise now! We have decided to try and establish a routine of Mum coming home every evening and being driven back in each morning by Dad on his way to work, rather than Caroline trying to get a room at the hospital again. Dad did a baby first aid course today at the hospital too, which was really useful and reassuring. Mum did the same course earlier in the week, so now at least we both know what to do if we have a problem once we get Natalie home (although it is very unlikely we will).
