My first week

I was born on the Sunday and had to stay at the patient hotel with Mummy and Daddy untill the Friday because I was going a funny orange colour. The nurses said that this was because I had jaundice, but Daddy told them it was because I was a Dundee United fan… 😉

The doctors and nurses done lots of blood tests on me and my little hands were blue because they jabbed me so many times. They also did tests to make sure I could see and hear OK and I passed with flying colours!

The best bit was when they gave me my own solarium to lie in overnight to help get rid of the orange colour. Mum and Dad thought that I looked like an alien…

Mummy and Daddy borrowed a pram for me (we called it my rental car) and we went for my first trip outside. The old folks took coffee and we sat and looked out across Edsviken lake at Ulriksdals castle which is close to where Mum and Dad used to live and they would often go down there for picnics.

All the other little babies were getting visitors and had little cuddly toys in their cribs, so Mum made a phone call to my new friend Maria and she came to visit me and gave me my first teddy bear 🙂
