This photo was taken in  the Special Care Baby Unit when O was two days old. He had come on in leaps and bounds since his rocky start and moved from the ICU straight into the nursery, totally bypassing the HDU where he was expected to go, and was well on his way to joining me over on the maternity ward.

I hadn’t actually seen this photo before today. My laptop is still away being fixed so I’ve been using my mums old one (while trying to fix and debug it) and found this while moving some photos to dropbox.

I love looking back at photos of my kids that I haven’t seen before, especially newborn ones. But I have to be honest, this photo also shocked me a little. You see I’d been quite poorly during the last few weeks of my pregnancy and it really does show here. I just cannot get over how gaunt my face was!
