I set up this blog to provide some updates on the status of Elis whilst he was in the Neonatal Unit following his birth three months early on 18th June 2007. The blog and his photos are now available as a book from http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1669468.

There was much excitment afoot today in the ICU as Elis had his first bath!! Apparently he thoroughly enjoyed his five minutes in the washing up bowl and behaved beautifully. He is now dressed in a babygrow that fits him, courtesy of Aunty Adity and Uncle Dave, and a new hat courtesy of his grandma's newfound knitting skills. He looks really cute - like a real (mini) baby!

He had an ultrasound scan on his brain this afternoon and all looks ok, which is a great relief. I then had him out for a cuddle but he was so exhausted from his exciting morning that he hardly moved.

He really looked so cute yesterday all dressed up and looking so baby like. I was just bursting to kiss his not so little feet while Josie was holding him but I had to restrain myself - only parents can touch. He was really peaceful and he smelt so lovely (I got that close)!
