Massimo’s first outing from the NNU

Good evening all

Massimo asleep in his buggyToday was very exciting but unfortunately not as exciting as I had thought! I had envisaged going outside in the glorious sunshine and walking at least around the perimetre of the hospital. Instead I was told that I had to stay not only IN St. George’s but on that floor! Luckily the NNU is on the same floor as the restaurant so a friend, Michelle, another mum on the unit, and I went off and had a coffee and a chinwag. We were allowed out for 45 minutes and it actually went by remarkably quickly.

When I arrived at the unit I gave him a quick nappy change, a feed and a suction then I put him straight in his buggy. Silvia & Massimo at SGH CanteenAs it was such a lovely day I left Massimo in his vest but I did put shoes on his feet just because they are so cute! Massimo settled quite quickly and then fell asleep. He stayed asleep the entire time we were out of the unit and probably didn’t even notice our little excursion!

As you can see I took a few pictures and although it wasn’t such an exciting outing I felt really unwilling to return to the unit.
