    Annabel is into her second week now, and has moved out of the intensive neonatal care room, into the high dependancy unit, and now into the special care baby unit. She is being fed mum’s milk every 3 hours and we’re trying to disturb her as little as possible to let her sleep, conserve energy…

    Yesterday (day 3) mummy had her first cuddle with Annabel. This cheered Kim up a lot, and made all the recent events seem less dream-like. She says Annabel seems real now that she has been able to hold her.

    After giving Annabel a clean and changing her nappy, I took a little bit of video of her and Jack. That’s Jack’s hand in the incubator, not mine. She is pretty small. She really doesn’t like being handled much, and would rather stay asleep. She has a tiny, squeaky cry, but was very good for…
