We called down to check on our boys and I learned that both of our babies had inherited traits from their daddy...
Jamison- Stubborn- he hated his Cpap and kept pulling it out... they tried him on oxygen in his nose, he pulled it out too... they tried him with nothing and he did great :) He is breathing all on his own!!! Pretty amazing for how little and young he is!!! He obviously doesn't like things on his face and was having no part of it until they took it all off!
Weston- Strong- this boy will kick his little legs until he is up on his side, if you let him hold your finger he will squeeze it super tight... he is a fighter and lord knows this is a good quality for him to have...
The nurses told us that he had pulled out his IV (I had told the nurse the night before it was to tight, she agreed and then left it there... next time I will throw a tantrum until they fix it) because of this little set back we weren't allowed to hold him :(
This was the day daddy got to hold his little man Jamison for the first time.. since I was a baby hog the night before (we are only able to hold them for such a short period of time it makes it so its either daddy or mommy that get to hold them, not both of us... but Jamison looked so so tiny in Pat's big ole arms... The nurse also let Pat change his diaper... I watched, he gave it a good effort and then gave up, he tried though :) Jamison is under the light for jaundice, his levels are slightly elevated so this should help him move right along :)
We visited Weston together and watched him as he held his wires in his hand, ran his miniature fingers against the plastic of his bed and let him hold each of our fingers as we talked to him and let him know we were there.. it was a killer to not hold him too :( He is also extremely bruised from birth, his little legs are purple... they said its because breech babies are harder to get out and since he is so tiny he bruises easily.. so they have him under the lights to help with his blood levels and jaundice as well, the bruising puts such a strain on his little system he needs some extra help :(
Oh and we asked soooooo many people for a special exception for Grandma to meet her grandsons and after getting a social worker involved she was able to have a few minutes with the boys (very few but she did at least get to take a peak) I was so happy she at least got to see them although I wish it was for more time............
Overall it was a pretty good day for them both. I was still recovering from my c-section... note to future mommies... when the nurses ask you if they can check your bleeding.. know that IT WILL HURT.. you think when they say this they are just going to pop open your undies and take a peak but what they really means is they are going to practically punch you in the belly and watch how much blood shoots out your girlie parts.
