Should we have called him Elvis?

Nik & Tom are still in their suite at the PRH, but Nik's temperature and pulse are back to normal, so I'm hoping they can come home soon.

Tom continues to feed like there's no tomorrow, but has lost 8% of his weight since being born. We've been told that this is perfectly normal in the first few days of a baby's life, and anything up to 10% is no cause for concern. I gave his second (and my first) bath this morning, which he screamed the whole way through and then weed all over his nice clean towel as I dried him. Naughty boy.

One thing that makes us both laugh is his face when he cries. His bottom lip quivers like crazy, and I'm sure the King of Rock 'n' Roll would be very proud of it. If it carries on like this, I may have to start singing All Shook Up to him. Anyone got a 0-3 month silver sequin suit with flares that they're looking to get rid of?

Now start praying he stays as quiet as he is on the video:-) Clare says he looks as cute as a button and we can't wait to see him....although you better get the grand-parents sorted first (bet they have all got itchy feet to drive north) - hope Nik is doing well and you all go home soon:-)
