One week on

Can you believe it, Jackson is a week old already.  Both he and his Mummy are doing well.  I went to visit again yesterday.  It was a bit of a trek to get there, 2 buses and a train.  It was worth it though. I got to see the little man without his CPAP apparatus.  He was awake for a while too.

He is doing amazingly well.  His milk has just been increased today to 8.5ml an hour.  He is going to keep his Mummy busy!  He has more or less regained his birth weight so is just a fraction under 3lb.   I took in some tiny, little, premature clothes for him and they are way too big even though they are size 1lb - 3.5lb.  It doesn't matter as he can't wear anything yet anyway.   We are hoping to go again on Saturday weather permitting.  Just saw a local weather forecast which is saying snow on Friday!  I HATE SNOW.

Today has been a day of catching up on housework.  Lots to do as I was out all day yesterday.  This afternoon I spent compiling 5 separate newsletters for the 5 sponsor dogs at the rescue kennels.   It is part of the sponsorship scheme that they get 4 newsletter updates a year.  It took me quite a while as  I was starting from scratch.  The next one will be easier.  Maybe tomorrow I'll show you the 5 dogs.

This evening I did a bit of sewing.  I am making another iPad case.  Didn't get it finished though as I had to stop and cook dinner.  I have been blobbing this evening.  I am tired.  In fact I think it is time to retire with a good book.
