I am now the proud Mum to little > Max (5lb 12oz) and littler Harvey (3lb 2oz).

I was kicked out of hospital on Monday so are days > are now spent commuting between home and Wexham. We tend to get there about > 10am and leave about 6.30pm. A very different way to spend the day! We're > so lucky that Tony has given up work (he managed less than a week of peace > and quiet before I went into hospital, poor bloke) as we can do all the > visits, etc together. > > Max is making really good progress and was taken out of his incubator > yesterday - he's now in a proper baby cot and being fed masses by tube > regularly! Little Harvey is our worry but he's definitely making progress. > Their main concern is his ability to deal with food etc as his little tummy > is under-developed.
