More progress again today. Phoebe has moved out of her incubator and is now in a "normal cot". They are trying her off her flow driver constantly now to see how she does, and the early signs are encouraging.She needs a couple of blankets to keep her temperature up, as well as this very fetching bonnet - she won't appreciate this photo later in life!
They are both putting on some weight, and are both now on 3-hourly feeds. Phoebe is guzzling 40mL at a time and Lydia just 28mL. They are also trying Lydia off her flow driver for a couple of hours during the day as you can see on these photos, and she is coping OK. It is great to be able to see her head and face properly without all the pipes in the way!
The nurses are talking about moving Phoebe into the nursery in the next few days, so this is a step nearer to the exit door! No doubt her sister will miss her being next to her, but it'a a good opportunity to socialise with her new neighbours!!
