Our Little Devil....

Thank you to everyone for all the messages whilst Jamie was in hospital. Both the 'get well' wishes and the 24 hour texting kept Jamie fighting ad mummy busy! God only knows how much scrubbing and cleaning mummy had to do in Jamie's hospital room. If anything feel on the floor that the staff may have wanted to use on Jamie, she threw it out. So out went the feeding tubes that fell on the floor, out went the disposable thermometers (well, in mummys bag, hey, dont act like you don't take the free soap from hotel rooms!), out went the nose tubes. Heck, mummy would have thrown out the monitors had they got dirty!

He is doing much better now though, he still has a cough, although that cleared up alot more recently. He is no longer contagious and is enjoying himself with the two new tricks he has learned- 1. Sleep, for some reason, Jamie has cottoned on to the fact that sleep is the best possible way to spend the day, so hes sleeping all day and all night! -2. Poking his tongue out! The cheeky little devil loves poking his tongue out at us. He doesn't quite understand why he isn't making the same noise we do when we poke our tongue out!

Watch the video below, its only a few seconds long and you'll see his 'attempt' at making the same noise after mummy blew raspberries at him! Its very cute! Turn your speakers on to here the sound he makes!

Jamie has Bronchiolitis!

Jamie has been very poorly over the last week. He first had a cold with a high fever and a really bad cough, but it soon developed into breathing problems and dehydration as he was off his food... We took him to A+E at the beginning of the week and he was admitted there and then.

Soon, he was transferred to another hospital, where he tested positive for RSV (some sort of virus) and it was confirmed that what he was suffering from was a disease called Bronchilitus, which swells parts of the lungs and produces lots of mucus causing trouble breathing.

He was put on oxygen 24/7 and was tube fed because he wouldnt accept feeds via the mouth and it was making him worse being dehydrated. Jamie would NOT accept the nasal oxygen thingy and had to have the mask placed near him to 'waft' his way... which meant mummy and daddy had to keep chasing him around his cot as he rolled over away from the oxygen mask. He also had a very bad habit of kicking the sensor off his foot and sending the machines ballistic!

Today we got back from the hospital. He had managed to go through the night and today without needing the oxygen and started accepting food again. He is still very sick, still suffering from Bronchiolitus, but there is no more the hospital can do for him. As its a virus, it has to be ridden out, all the hospital can treat is the effects of the bronchiolitis. So, aslong as he doesnt need oxygen and he is feeding well, he may aswell be at home letting it ride out. Afterall, he doesnt want to catch an infection from the hospital!

Here are some pics from Jamies stay at the hospitals, He is doing much better, I'm sure you can see from the pics. All this means the little blighter got out of his immunisations, AGAIN!

Halloween Stylee...

Ok, so it may not be Halloween yet.... but for mummys sake lets all pretend it is...

See , mummy has a bad case of nappy brain at the moment and her head isn't really working very well, so when she saw a cute little halloween outfit for Jamie, she went ahead and bought it... in the size that he is in now- 0-3 months! Not realising, that little Jamie has an awful habit of growing on her and would very likely have grown out of it by the end of the month. Silly mummy! So to everyone:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

In other news, Mr Jamie got lucky and escaped his injections! We got to the clinic and there were just far too many babies having immunisations that day and we were told to come back next week... So he had his first dose of baby calpol in order to prep him for the imms, but it wasn't needed afterall!

Also, I just wanted to share this pic on the right hand side (the main pic on this website). I dont know what Jamie did the night before, but it must have been fantastic, because he looks wasted! lol

7 weeks old!

Jamie is over 7 weeks old now. He's doing very well. You can see him learning and taking in everything around him. He's even giving some smiles away for free!

Mummy and daddy are in love with him more than ever now that he is exchanging cheeky smiles!

The smiles may stop for a while on Thursday when he has his motherload of injections at 2 months. (omg, he'll be 2 months old) I've heard some babies are very irritable for up to 48 hours after and some are knocked out for the duration.. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that it's the latter one!

Jamie has got himself a favourite place now. It's his baby gym. He loves it! He can sit under his baby gym for hours staring at the brightly coloured things floating around! He even gives away little squeals of excitement!
