Morning update

Oliver asleep last night with his dummy
Wide awake!
How much of my hands fit into my mouth?

Well as you can see by the photos Oliver is doing amazingly well, he's still in the neonatal HDU in an incubator but has been over 36 hours breathing on his own on room air. He is up to 7ml per hour on his NG feeds so getting there to getting off the drip. He now weighs 1.96kg .
Last night we tried to see if he'd latch on to me which he did without hardly any help and had a few really good sucks so i'm really hopefull with time as he gets stronger this will come on :)
I'm making the most of spending time with Oliver and Ed together as we won't have this time come Monday as Ed will be back at work.
