Apparently it looked really silly but I didn’t care as I got the last laugh when I was snug as a bug while they froze to death in the cold autumn weather. I didn’t think too much of the outside world and so decided to sleep through the whole journey.
Once we got back from the walk, I apparently did some hand painting although I don’t remember this either, as I slept while my hands were covered in blue paint and used to make octopuses prints in an under the sea scene - Mum thought it was excellent when dad showed her so I think I will take the credit for it anyway.
Finally I got weighed today and was found to be 40g heavier than my birth weight which I was quite chuffed with. This also means they have recalculated my feeds and I should now be on 38ml every two hours, so they are increasing my dose over the next few days to help me gain more weight. Good job too because I am getting really hungry now between feeds and sucking my finger (although nice) produces very little milk.
Oh and before I forget - Mum and Dad did a very silly thing this evening. While cooking dinner up in there flat I decided to be all awake, so instead of watching the dinner they were playing with me. Meanwhile the bacon in the pan was slowly burning away and although Dad managed to salvage it for the pasta sauce, it set off the Fire Alarm for the whole building. The Fire Brigade turned up 5 minutes later and Mum and Dad were very sheepish. It all ended well though, as all the kids in ACORNS got to try on the helmets and had their pictures taken and the nurses really seemed to enjoy having them around too, hummm.... think I may have some competition.
