A pretty standard day today in NICU, full of ups and downs.
The down bit being that Willow is still in the 'poo room', and that one of the babies in there has now become a bit more ill. It might just mean that the baby is not coping as well with the tummy bug as the others, and nothing more serious than that. But it's enough to worry us anyway. Willow was looking really awake and alert though; other than her nappy contents she looks perfectly alright.
Stanley is still getting stronger again after his infection, and today I saw him really smile for the first time. He'd done it a few times already for Mummy earlier in the week, but today was my first proper one. It's definitely up there with the best moments of the last 130 days, if not the last 32 years 11 months. It's quite an indescribable feeling seeing stuff like that; something you just don't feel until you have children. We can't wait to see Willow do the same now; she's been threatening for a couple of weeks.
Every day now is becoming a real drag - we just want them home with us.
