Wednesday 22nd December

Daddy forgives me for being a trouble maker because I'm so cute.

I guess you could say I’m an early riser, today I got everyone up with the alarm at 5.30am, it was still dark outside other than the flakes of snow dancing through the orangey sky.

Five minutes afterwards Mummy was sat at the end of Daddy’s bed wrapped in a large green cellular blanket. They both looked pretty cross...even a warm cup of something didn’t make them smile. I went back to sleep for a hour and I think they just fell asleep leaning against each other before the emergency alarm was pulled an hour later. L

I must have really annoyed Daddy as he left the hospital and didn’t come back for ages. Carol helped Mummy with my feeds and then Mummy entertained me by putting coloured animal pictures all round my greenhouse.  

I heard people talking about me just after lunch, I thought they were talking about fashion as they mentioned ‘jeans’ a lot, turns out it was the other kind of ‘genes’, it was all very technical.  Kim is a Genetic Counseller who works at Alder Hey. She wanted to know all about me and what happened after I was born and about my family. She is hoping to be able to put some plans in place which mean that I can help Mummy and Daddy have another baby one day. Mummy says she always wanted me to have a brother or sister, since she met me she is even more adamant because she said if she can make something so beautiful once, then she would like to try again.

I think that she feels that if she was lucky she will get to have a little bit of me back

Zara likes looking at babies

somehow in another baby.

There is a lovely lady called Zara who works for Dr Burns, who Mummy and Daddy know because she has a Camper Van like them, she called yesterday to see me and I forgot to mention her, I feel awful as I know she follows my blog – so thank you for coming Zara you were very nice to us all and Mummy and Daddy especially liked the little pressies you snook in for them, I think they are saving them to enjoy on Christmas Day. ;-)

Talking about Camper Vans, I haven’t seen ours yet – apparently she is called Gertie but Daddy says once he has the time and can afford to get her all painted up all pretty he wants to rename her Eleanor after me! That way Mummy says he will never sell her and when ever anyone asks about her they will tell them all about me.




While Mummy was looking through my little red book she realised that I still hadn’t had my 12 week injections because I’d missed them being here for 3 weeks!! – So unfortunately now this afternoon I have two pink thighs where they have given me my jabs. I’m brave though, Mummy challenged Dr Helen and said not make me cry and she could have a yummy chocolate biscuit! Job done.

Mummy and Daddy got meals on wheels for tea from Penny, who brought lovely Fahitas for tea and some Ben and Jerry’s for pudding. Rachel came to see me after work and brought a cool disco ball and lots of home baked goodies – I think that the nurses will enjoy coming to Side Room One over the next few days….!!

Mummy says she’s talked too much today and thinks her voice is going, and as she's had it before she thinks it might be, big word coming up for me, Laringitis. (Which is obviously mummy’s vocabulary) and instead of singing me carols she has pt my pretty light show on to settle me to sleep – she is looking out for me tonight and I can see she has crossed her fingers and toes for me to be good. I’ll try. But as everyone knows, I’m very unpredictable.
