full of energy

Upon arriving at the hospital Mummy and Daddy were informed that Maisie had been naughty making more mess for the nurses. Once more Maisie managed to fill several nappies in extremely quick succession.

Daddy eventually had his turn at Kangaroo Care. A full 2 hours of cuddles did both Daddy and Maisie a lot of good - it was a great bonding experience. Having skin to skin care has a big effect on Maisie and she was really settled and relaxed sleeping on Daddy's chest.

Sorry Maisie, Daddy can't help you with food...

The consultants are happy with Maisie and just need her to continue to eat well. The more Maisie eats the more she will grow and the better her lung tissue growth will be.

After cuddles Maisie was back to the incubator full of energy and she appeared to be interacting and smiling with Mummy;

Mummy said that "this is the best Maisies ever been."

 It was a good day.

    What a wonderful picture! Great to see the two of you together- and glad that Maisie is now 1kg in weight- so many good news!

    1. Thank you for your comments about Daddy, you're really funny! And thank you for the books you sent me, we will add them to the library. You're right - if they are going to use my name in a book they should spell it correctly - every one should know it's Maisie not Maisy (silly mouse)
