First Night at Home

Our first night all at home together as a new family. Natalie needs to be fed every 3 hours round the clock, so we had to find a couple more alarm clocks to wake us up at all the right times. Natalie pulled out her nasal feeding tube in the night, so we started the day having to phone the special care community team who came round first thing to fit a new one. Once that was sorted out we mainly did a lot of washing, being at home for more than a few hours for the first time in over a month! In the afternoon we decided to test the pram, and took Natalie for a walk round the village green. It was rather bumpy and we had to go very slowly to avoid bouncing Natalie around too much in her cosy all terrain transport. She slept soundly throughout the excursion, but I think the fresh air did us all some good.

Here is Natalie without a feeding tube coming out of her nose. I took this while I had the chance, before the community support team arrived to put in a replacement tube after she pulled the last one out during the night.

Natalie looks a bit lost in her carry cot. She is so tiny!

Mum with Natalie in the pram, out and about for the first time!

Natalie is all wrapped up as it was a cold day.
