Hi everyone, Lisa and I have decided that a Blog would be a great way to let all our friends and family know how our little girl is progressing in her first few tough days, weeks and months.

This is Olivia Grace Earp's story and we would love you to enjoy the highs with us and keep her in your thoughts during the lows.

I apologise for the rambling nature and somewhat thrown together appearance of the Blog but I don't have much time at the moment!

********You need to read from the bottom up with Blogs so the newest post is always at the top. Look to the right of the page and click on "Olivia's Story Post Archive" for the earlier posts***********

We are proudly supporting the Cots for Tots appeal to raise £1 million for vital equipment at St Michael's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Please have a look at the website and donate a few pounds if you can.

Day 32-The Webbed Toe!

The good news from today is that the routine appears to be working well and Olivia and Lisa are a lot more happy.  I'm missing them both terribly but it wont be long now before we can say goodbye to St Michaels.

I felt very guilty for leaving Lisa at hospital on her own but husbands/partners can only be there between 9am-9pm and I wouldn't have been able to do much without getting in the way.  I had meeting in London at lunchtime which I hope will lead to an important new client.  I made it back before the half term get away from London and had some lovely cuddles with Olivia, Lisa thinks she is getting to used to them and will not want to sleep in her own cot!

We are desperately hoping that we will be able to leave the hospital tomorrow but I think Sunday or Monday are more realistic as the doctors will need to see weight gain before we can go.  Olivia's weight has been static for the last few days so fingers crossed she will have a heavy day tomorrow if we can wrangle a weigh in as they only happen every other day!

Jess had a was looking Olivia's toes to see if my half webbed toe had been passed down a generation and it looks like it might have been!  My half web is on my right foot like my brothers but Olivia seems to have a less pronounced  web on her left foot!  See what you think.....

Night all and more news tomorrow.
