We woke up and got useselve ready and went to the hospital we met Maurine, Rudy and thier little girl Elenor. Maurine and Rudy we first met on a antenatal course in the City Hospital a couple of days before Michael was born and obviously we had never met Elenor before. She was born about 3 weeks ago. She is a lovely little thing even smaller than Michael. Though Michael is getting bigger all the time. He has managed to outgrow his 'Premature baby' clothes. It was great to see them again and exchange stories. I was just thinking today of sending them a text message to see how they were. We should go to visit them next weekend.
Here is Michael sleeping just after his injection. In the background is Rocio holding Elenor. Elenor had been crying at the time, she had just had her BCG too of course but she calmed down with Rocio and soon fell asleep too.
We also saw a lady called Jasmin and her baby (Sorry can't remember the name) we met her briefly on the labour ward just after Michael was born and before her girl came. The BCG clinic really is a place for reunions.
We were very worried about how Michael would be with the injection. We hate to see him suffer but this is important. As it was neither Rocio or I wanted to hold Michael during the injection because he would probably stuggle and he would need holding tightly. I could do it but better someone who doesn't love him so much. He was sleeping peacfully before the injection and he cried loudly during it. It must have been a nasty surprise but two minutes later he was asleep again. Wonerful boy that he is.
Afterwards we went to Primark to buy him a soft new towel, by way of a present for being so good. He must have liked it because he got out of the bath today without crying at all.
