Mummy gets a cuddle

At last
Today Maisie escaped from her incubator for 1.5 hours to get a cuddle from Mummy. After a stable night it was decided that Maisie and Mummy should get a bit of skin on skin time where Maisie is held directly against Mummys chest. This really helps with Mummy and Maisie bonding, it also is a great way to stimulate milk flow along with helping Maisie sleep more deeply helping her growth and development.

Daddy will also get a go to help with his bonding with Maisie. This kind of stimulation for Maisie, Mummy and Daddy is sometimes called Kangaroo Care. Today Daddy only got to change dirty nappies.

Auntie Cat and Uncle Alex came to visit Maisie today bearing gifts;. Maisie got a new book "Did you know you are gorgeous?" - I'm sure Maisie knows this already as so many people tell her. Maisie also got some wee mittens and hats and some very fashionable nappy wraps which are a little big but as soon as they fit you will get photos of Maisie modelling them.


Maisie was looking well for Aunty and Uncle

Her cousins also sent alot of things with Auntie Cat:  Charlie and Gracie wrote a lovely letter, sent a Bedtime Bear and a Very Hungary Caterpillar. Also Ella and Ava sent some cards and a picture that they'd made.


Bedtime Bear is all ready for bed and it's only 3.30pm what a good bear
"Dear Maisie ,

We thought that you would like a bedtime bear like ours.

We love you

Gracie and Charlie xx"

Maisie loved these gifts and was expecially pleased to see the life like drawings of Gracie and Charlie.

Tomorrow Maisie has the first of her eye tests - we'll let you all know how she gets on. Not sure how Maisie will do as although she is well read for her age we're not to sure that she can actually read.

    I think Daddy should get his chest waxed so its nice a smooth for Maisie to sleep on. Bet you enjoyed your cuddle with mummy, you have waited along time xx
