Today I reached my birth weight! All babies loose weight to start with and Ive now managed to put mine back on. I'm also making progress on my breathing as I'm now off CPAP for 8 hours then back on for 4 hours so I'm almost flying solo.
Mum and Dad came to see me this morning and Mum held me outside the incubator again in whats called a 'Kangaroo Care' which is holding me next to Mum and Dads skin. 
Dad fed me again, I'm now on 7ml per hour, and changed my nappy. He's starting to get the hang of it all.
I was found I can lift my head enough to turn over today so I've been showing Mum and Dad what I can do, I was also quite tired so I've been yawning lots and stretching my arms and legs.
Well, Jasmine, What an achievement, I wish I only weighed my birth weight! You look really great in your yellow bonnet and pink blanket. You have got lovely eyes.
We are all looking forward to seeing you when you get home, so at the rate you are growing you will soon be out of that new incubator so it won't be long.
Your Mum and Dad are doing so well keeping up with you. I am glad the nurses have sorted out some training for them but I hope they give you a certificate for achieving your birth weight! and for doing so well.
God Bless you, (not so) little Jasmine!!
Love Della
