It’s 4:20 AM. I just got back from holding my third child for the first time. He is such a little peanut! There’s just nothing like that feeling. I rocked him for about 20 minutes, but it seemed to go by so fast.
He’s doing well. He’s breathing well on room air through his canulla and his stats all look good. He’s sleeping well, probably because he’s also eating well. They’re giving him 5mg of formula at a time and it sounds like he’s a good eater. He slept the whole time I was there.
He’s still on antibiotics and probably will be for 48-72 hours. That means he’ll probably stay in the NICU for at least that long. But that’s fine because we want to make sure he’s very healthy.
Kathie is doing well, but getting a little antsy about being cooped up in bed with all the tubes and stuff connected to her. She was able to go down and see Alex earlier last night. I’m sure she’s looking forward to eating and getting more mobile so she can spend some more quality time with her newest son.
Tomorrow… um… today… we’ll get Braden and Emma, oh and Grandma and Grandpa too, over to meet their newest family member. I’m looking forward to seeing how they’ll react. That reminds me… I have to go down and get Big Brother/Big Sister t-shirts!
