A good night and our first bath

Lara (and Olga!) had a very good night last night. Lara was fed at 11pm till 11.45, then slept through till 2.30am before waking for her next feed, but she didn't wake up screaming, it was just some gurgling and whimpering. She then slept till her next feed at 5.30am, which was only a brief one, but again she didn't cry at all, even when she had her nappy changed, which has been guaranteed to get her lungs working so far. In fact she didn't cry at all through the night - until Dad left the room to go and walk Mishka at 7.45! I reckon it means Ola's been doing really well to react to Lara's needs, and that feeding is going well too. Even the pooing and the peeing is what we've been led to expect, so we're really happy that everything is going OK.
We've worked out it's better to have the central heating on "constant" at 19 degrees rather than trying to blast the temperature up to 21 degrees then having the radiators turn off, that made it cold in the night for both Ola and Lara, which probably contributed to her crying on Wednesday night (Lara's, not Ola's!). Ah, yeah, I'd not said about Wednesday night, Ola was up almost every hour, checking on Lara whenever there was a snuffle or a gurgle. She still got more sleep than when she was in the hospital though, but Lara was more teary on Wednesday night than last night, but we reckon that might be down to the central heating.

Lara's had her first bath this morning, ready to get fussed over in the office...
