Baby Erina - 2 days old now. She's doing really well considering she is so teeny weeny. I spoke to Mum and Christa and between them I have found out the following.
Erina will be staying in Special Care for around 2 weeks. Christa is expressing milk which is being fed to her through a nasal tube. And every second feed she is being woken for a bottle. They are letting her do loads of sleeping so that her pertuatory gland gets the rest it needs to make her strong. She has only lost 70grams which is really good considering. Normal expected weight loss would be up to 230grams.
Her lungs are fine and she has a good cry. Christa and Stephen gave her her first bath tonight and now her long dark hair is all fluffy and standing on end (just like Christa when she was a baby). Tomorrow Erina is having her heal prick and a blood test done. The doctors are suspecting that she has jaundice but that is a very common thing in all babies so she may be put under an infered light to help her along with that.
I really want to see her - I'm so jealous of Mum as she's flying over on Friday to see them all. Mum will be under strict instructions to give Erina loads and loads of cuddles and kisses from her Auntie Trishie.
Tomorrow is the Pink Ribbon Morning Tea. Linda and I are all prepared and we are looking forward to a fantastic day. After that we are heading off with the "besties" (Lightbody's, Harris', Poupardins and Prices) for a weekend down at Broadwater. Looking forward to it - it should be a big laugh!!
Kisses Trish xxx
