Wow! Corgan is six months old now!!! He is still mainly wearing premature baby clothing!! And he's wearing Pampers New Baby nappies now...

Easter

Corgan's first Easter...He ate carrot for the first time today...he eats about 100ml per meal...carrot seems to be his least favourite so far...but he ate it all!

Sweet Potato

Corgan had sweet potato for the first time today, he enjoyed it...he loves food :)

Butternut!

Corgan ate butternut for the first time today and he absolutely loved it!

Home For 2 Months

Corgan has been home for two months now...no problems at all...none of his apnea monitors have gone off nor any other issues...

Third Synagis

We took Corgan to Parklands to have his third Synagis injection – we took him up to the NICU and Silindile injected him and he visited everyone there…

Bumbo!

This morning's rice cereal feeding went even better than last night! Corgan didn't mess one drop!! He was taking most of the spoon into his mouth....Corgan sat in his bumbo for the first time and he absolutely loved it!! I have to put a small pillow under his bum because he is too small :)

Third Check Up

We went to Dr Egner for Corgan's check up...he was happy with everything...Corgan weighs 2,7kg and is now 48cm long...Dr Egner said we could start giving Corgan Rice cereal from today...one spoon in the morning and one in the evening...he said that Corgan probably won't actually eat much on the first few tries...he told us that once Corgan gets used to it we can increase to two spoons, then three etc and add an afternoon feed as well...in two to three weeks we can start Corgan on butternut and sweet potato...we got a script for the next Synagis injection...after that we went to Parklands to order the Synagis...we also got more Polycose, D drops and D-germ spray...we are quite strict with that too - when my mother etc visit Corgan they have to wash and spray their hands with D-germ...We visited the NICU...we saw Rachael, Yashika, Charlene, Thanda, Sister Makhaya and Nokuthula who just happened to be on that shift...we also saw Jane from Labour ward and Jane from Management...Everyone is always happy to see our little miracle baby...He ate his first rice cereal feed this evening and he ate like a little pro!  Hardly made any mess :) He loved it!
