Can't believe it's February already, and here we are still living in NICU. If someone had told us back in September that we'd still be here at this time, we wouldn't have been able to cope.
Today had its ups and downs, as usual. Willow has been quarantined in the nursery with a few other babies, as she has diarrhoea. Hopefully nothing too serious; just a bit of a bug.
Stanley had a lumbar puncture today, which meant another few hours of sweating and shaking, waiting for the result. Again, like his sister's test, it was clear - no nasty little organisms infiltrating his spinal fluid. He was much better again today; back off the oxygen completely and being more his hungry self.
Willow's also been quite hungry of late, which shows in her current weight of 8lbs 8oz. Stanley is still growing nicely at 9lbs 12oz.
Watching Big Fat Gypsy Weddings when we got home made us feel much better. It could be worse - we could be gyppos.
