Whoo-hoo. I had hold of Ruby for about 10 minutes today. There didn't seem to be any weight in her at all. She has lost 4 ozs but the nurse said that was fine. I know babies do lose a little but that seemed a lot for her to me. She was a little jaundiced last night but a few hours under the lamp soon sorted that out. And she pooped her nappy while I was holding her.

Ahhhh Christine I'll bet that was the best poop in the world

Glad you had a cuddle

Thank you everyone. My son phoned this afternoon to say Ruby has been naughty. She had pulled her feeding tube out of her nose. I'm glad she had the strength to do it. She has put on an ounce and doesn't need the heat lamp now. She is, apparently very wiggly too.

cheekygirl

oh that,s great news .should be all positive now .congratulations to you all xx

Christine she is one of life fighters that little one...my middle GD was a proper little riddler and she is 12 now..I have never known anyone so focused on what she wants to do...fingers crossed she will soon be home..

applerose

Thank you Cheekygirl and Barbara.
Ruby was moved in to a normal cot this afternoon. It is heated as she's not quite regulating her own temperature yet but it is another step closer to coming home.

coco67

another step towards coming home, glad you got your cuddle xxx

barbara12

Little Ruby will soon be home....bliss..62 and getting broody... xx

applerose

Oops, sorry about making you broody Barbara.
Ruby is now in a normal cot and started on bottles today. Just hoping my throat is ok so I can go and see her over the weekend.

barbara12

Thats such good news...its sods law that you have required a sore throat...hopefully it will clear up soon then you can have another cuddle ..sorry I haven asked how mum is doing...x

I've felt ok today so will see how I am tomorrow. Feeling very annoyed with my sister though. We went to visit my dad today. As we arrived, my other sister's partner (they live next door to dad) came out and told us that that sister had chicken pox so she wouldn't be coming in to dad's. After a while, the sister I went with disappeared and came back quite a while later saying, 'Yes she's covered in spots.' She'd been next door after I'd said I didn't want to risk catching chicken pox. So not sure if she could have caught it then passed it to me. I think it'd doubtful but I still feel annoyed. And to top it all, she phoned her GP who has asked to see her because he thinks it's measles. Grrrrrrr!

lindalegs

Some people just have no consideration for others Christine :x I hope you haven't caught chicken pox or measles.

Luv,

cheekygirl

Its never endining is it just keep thinking your new g daughter she doing so well bless her cotton socks .hope your throat clears up soon ,lots lov x

Sorry, forgot to update here. It turned out my sister is having a really bad allergic reaction so it's not contagious. I feel ok but woke up coughing last night. Ruby is putting a little weight on now. She will be allowed home when she reaches 4lbs. She's 3lbs 5ozs at the moment.

frogmorton

Ruby sounds to be doing really well applerose!! Already putting on a fair bit of weight

Wont be long before they let her go home.

Hope your Sister gets well soon.

Love
