My Second Week

Cuddlemania!!!

Well, I have to admit I was starting to be a pretty popular guy! One of the doctors called me the 'star of the unit' because I was doing so well. Mum and Dad would fight to see who got to cuddle me first. Made no difference to me. I was just too tired to be bothered.

I was starting to get down to some serious eating. I was now taking in 9 mL of mummy's milk every day and was putting on close to 30 grams a day. I was getting close to regaining my birth weight. (I probably didn't tell you that I lost a lot of weight just after I was born.)

I've got to fatten up quite a bit because any day now I'm going to graduate to Nursery II and they tell me that my mates there will be big fellas ...
