You could have knocked me over with a feather when I read the card & sort of realised what it said.

Its a present no amount of money can buy & especially with someone as special as Flynn as Penny says its not something I'll forget in a hurry.
it creates a very special bond too - I love all my sister's kids dearly, for example, but there is an extra "something" between the me and the youngest one, my god-daughter.

So good to see Flynn looking so well and to hear he is doing so much better. Keep up the good work Flynn and you'll be home where you belong in no time

And Hevs, I hope you're better in no time at al.

have a great Christmas and I'm sure you'll have an even better new year

**** Breaking news ****

Flynn's been moved out of his humidi crib into a nornal open crib. We arrived for our afternoon visit with Flynn and they were aclimatising him to it by turning down his crib temp.

We got him dressed in warm clothes and wrapped in a blanket. The open crib seems quite small compared to his previous one. It will be a lot easier to change him now though.

The ward was very christmassy this morning with Santa coming round and having his picture taken with all the babies. Also on each of the cribs was a Christmas card with a picture of the baby. Flynns looked very cute. Also there was a christmas stocking for each of the babies with some nice little gifts in.

Its a song title by snow patrol that means a lot to me when i'm laying in the recliner at the hospital with my baby skin on skin on my chest (its called kangaroo care). He is 34 gestational weeks and seven real weeks


"Chasing Cars"

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Well, how do you feel this am Bordy? Flynn was happy you said yes, i can just tell these things

Have you done your godfatherly duties and got the cotton wool wedged in the sides of your cheeks

Bordy, no one desrves it more my dear friend, no one. All the way through my pregnancy i knew who was gonna be asked. Weather you'd accept or not was another question

Flynn also began sucking his thumb yesterday and the day before, when he was in the bath, he smiled. Not at anything particular, just smiled.

Spoke to the guru (AKA Clara) yesterday (and i gave her a massive hug too ) and she said providing the next cranial ultra sound is good (gulp ) we will look to move to Casey at the end of the week. Wednesday/ thursday is pencilled in for the next scan.

Casey? Is that your local hospital? Fantastic news. I'm impressed with how Flynn is progressing. He must have inherited his Mummy and Daddys fighting spirit

Hope you all had a lovely christmas.
