Little D had an eventful day yesterday. I called in to visit on my way to work in the morning and he was looking a little yellow and was frankly rather limp. It turned out that he had not at that point had his first "movement" and was somewhat backed up with meconium. However, as he had been in a Danish hospital for more than 4 hours he was due an enema anyway (I sometimes fear that they will start giving them to visitors, such is their popularity!) and that got everything moving in a hurry. Apparently he managed to spray a large area of the room and immediately bucked up afterwards, no doubt proud of that achievement.
He is still having a little trouble feeding from his mother, it turns out that he has a slightly cleft pallet that the pediatrician found after a close examination. A specialist is coming to have a look at that this morning, but it may be contributing to his difficulties sucking. We couldn't see anything so I don't really know what the consequences are or if it will have to be treated at some point.
We are all hoping that D and MK can come home today and we are looking forward to having dinner with T&B this evening with a celebratory bottle of bubbly. Hopefully I'll get around to taking some more pictures to post.
