Yet another weekend in NICU. We were both pretty fed up and moaning all day today; no doubt annoying the very patient nurses and everyone else. Really just want to get out of there now.
Willow is still in the 'dirty baby' room, and Stanley is in the 'clean baby' room, so we now have to wear plastic aprons and gloves when handling Stanley too, in order to prevent infections spreading between different rooms. Although we can obviously see the need to do this, it was really the icing on the cake today. It's no fun trying to feed and burp your baby while wearing a slippery apron and gloves. It will be so nice when one day, we can just pick up Willow or Stanley, and feed them like a normal person.
So, even though nothing really bad happened today, we've been grumpy and miserable nonetheless. So we took our miserable grumpiness to Willow and Stanley's aunty and uncle for a tasty dinner, and left feeling much better.
Two positive status reports later, it's now Sunday morning and time for a bacon sarnie. After that, we might go to Poole, just for a change.
