Another tube bites the dust

Natalie managed to pull out her feeding tube again in the night. Two nights at home and two tubes gone! We are getting to meet all the various members of the community team as we have had to call them out two days in a row.

Now we have Natalie home we are enjoying putting her into all the lovely outfits we have for her. In the hospital she mainly wore clothes from the SCBU as they had a large collection of tiny clothes. Most of the ones we have found ourselves, and all the lovely outfits friends and family have bought her were a bit too big until now.

At night Natalie sleeps in a Moses basket next to our bed. She seems to be sleeping pretty well between feeds which at least allows us a bit of sleep per 3 hour feeding cycle. Dad is a night owl while Mum is an early bird, so Dad does the evening shift while Mum gets a few hours sleep. Then Mum takes over in the small hours and lets Dad get some rest. Natalie just sleeps when she feels like it!
