You were born weighing only 1245g (2lb 11oz) after 32 weeks and 3 days in Mummy’s tummy – that meant you were 8 weeks early.
5:45pm - Daddy couldn’t wait with Mummy any longer! He came to visit you for the first time and was very scared because you were so small.
20/2 - You had your first visits from all of your grandparents who would not stop crying. Later that day you began to struggle to breathe without support and were intubated twice.
23/2 – You had your first cuddles with Mummy and then Daddy. Your little cry was unbearable as you told us all about your adventures so far.
26/2 - The results from a lumbar puncture came back with traces of Meningitis, but thankfully this had already been treated. We were told you were ready to head back to Stoke Mandeville as you were doing so well!
5/3 - You began to be able to regulate your own temperature and so were moved to a hot cot. You were now allowed to wear clothes! Your very first outfit was size ‘3lb’.
