Looking up

Hansel is gradually building strength in his neck area. This allows him to tilt his head up and look around as in the pictures here.

Feeding and Sleeping

Hansel is feeding well so far but he still has more to grow. As you can see, most of his clothes are still baggy. Here are some pictures taken over the past week.

Time with Hansel – Daily Visits to the Nursery

Jamie and I make daily trips to St Michaels Hospital to catch the 3 hourly feeding sessions for interaction time with Hansel. We have the opportunity to take his temperature, change diapers, hold and feed him. Leaving the hospital without Hansel is not a good feeling. We can’t wait to bring him home.

Hansel in the Nursery

Hansel is currently kept at the Nursery aka NICU. As you can see, he is all hooked up to monitors, an IV drip to his left hand and a feeding tube up his nose. I am not comfortable seeing him like this and I am sure he feels uncomfortable as well. Jamie and I are making frequent trips to visit him and catch the 3 hourly feeding times for some interaction. More pictures to come.

Hansel, my son.

Hansel arrived 5 and half weeks early, at 34+ weeks. How that happened was truly dramatic. Nevertheless, all is well. Though I am truly tired having not slept in days, I am eager to share some pictures of Hansel, my son. Jamie did a wonderful job delivering Hansel. More pictures to come.
