Sad news today - Kathryn can't come home yet.
The communication from the doctors/registrars leaves a lot to be desired.
Until this morning, we thought that the toxemia risk had passed, and Kathryn could go home when she was ready, so Kathryn wasn't very happy to learn that her blood pressure would have to be monitored more regularly, and more blood samples taken, as there were still concerns over her toxemia.
I had to go home to get more clothes for Kathryn and Andrew. While I was doing this, I tried to ring and get some more people to visit Kathryn. No friends had visited on Tuesday, and at that time, no one had visited yet on Wednesday either. For someone as communicative as Kathryn, this was hard going... She is getting absolutely bored and sick of looking at the same four walls.
When I got back, we left Andrew with a midwife, and went to the hospital cafe so I could have some dinner and Kathryn could take in some different views. On returning to the ward, we had some much appreciated visitors.
Andrew had his longest feed ever (35 minutes).
Hopefully tomorrow's blood test is taken really early, and the results come back really quickly, and the results are good, and Kathryn and Andrew can come home!

Well done on the blog, its great to see some pix. Also very encouraging that you have also named your son after a NZ Music song (as it is NZ music month after all, being May - Andrew is by Fur Patrol ( and hes also in Fur Patrol)
..but you didnt know that, did you

I would love to visit Kathyrn - I know the cabin fever feeling well, although mine is more because I'm too scared too go far from home in case things start to happen (they haven't yet).
Kathryn, you look great, especially given what you've been through. It seems the C section hasn't slowed you down at all. I know a few Mums who would be quite envious (the ones who refused to have their photo taken after having given birth).
Hope you get to go home soon.
Blessings
Rita & James
