Day 293
9M 19D |
Nathan was a little off colour today. He brought up a huge
lunch and wasn't really settled until a supper helping of porrage.
We've got another (hopefully final) overnight saturation test
tonight. It's meant to be a final check that Nathan is coping
without oxygen. And if we ever find out how to stop the machine
from beeping every three minutes we'll be very happy indeed!

Day 292
9M 18D |
As Nathan eats more food, he's drinking less milk.
There's something much more comforting knowing that the lad has
just eaten a huge amount of food. You just know that he's not
going to be hungry for at least an hour, whereas that wasn't always
the case with milk. He also brings less of it back up. |

Day 291
9M 17D |
We make all of Nathan's fruit-based foods. They get pureed
and frozen. The current selection includes apple & pear,
cherry and grape cubes.
We use shop bought savoury foods. Not many of them are palatable
though, and if we don't want to taste them then why should the
lad?
We use a tip from Nathan's Nan to get that savoury food into
Nathan. We feed the lad alternate spoons of fruit and savoury.
It's a technique originally used on Laura's brother.

Day 290

Kkkkkkkk is still the sound of choice, and not only does Nathan
make it when he's happy, he looks at you with a "special"
look when you make it.
While playing with a water bottle this morning, Nathan lifted
it right up to his mouth. IT weighed 450g (1 lb), we knew he
was strong.

Day 289
9M 15D |
If you're eating while reading this then don't,
because I'm going to describe the interesting phenomenon of Nathan's
nappy change. He's a lot more regular since being on solids, and
keeps us amused by the loud straining noises he makes to announce
it's time to change the lad's nappy. The thing is, once the nappy
is removed, Nathan is revealed as a fraud. There's nothing there...
Until the nappy comes off, that is. Then it's pooooooooooo, poooooooooo.
That's quite a trick for one so young. |

Day 288
9M 14D |
The baby bouncer is still a bit of a challenge.
The lad will get the hang of it in time.
Today was a clockwork day. Ate lots, slept lots. Wish you were
here. |
Tue 22nd June
Day 287
9M 13D |
Today Nathan took delivery of his baby bouncer. He's still
not quite sure what to do with it, but give him time...
The lad has been sick less often as he's been eating more solids.
Well today it was more drinking and more accidents, even to
the degree of requiring a change of clothes.
