Unfortunately without my baby.  He is still in SCBU and probably will be for about another week to 10 days.  His breathing is getting better by the hour, however, it turns out that the babies of Diabetic Mummy’s tend to have suck and swallow issues, so there is some thought that it might be a few days after his breathing is fine until he can come home.

I got to hold him today for the first time since his birth.  It was only for about 20 minutes but it was the best 20 minutes ever.  Unfortunately, I had forgotten the camera!

I will write up his birth story over the next few days, as I know people have been asking about it!  I will also be putting most of his status updates here, rather than repeating them over and over at Facebook and Mumsnet and all the other sites I know people are waiting for news!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words sent through Simon on his birth.  We think he’s pretty darn cool!!
