Growing, getting bigger.. Taking most of his feeds by bottle and breast. Has some nasal congestion and they suctioned him and there was some blood in his nose which is scary. The doctors said they would be willing to move up his hernia repairs to this Friday. He currently has a large hernia in his scrotum and a small one in his belly button. He has to go back on a vent for surgery which terrifies me. He is 38 weeks today and I am hopeful that we may possibly be able to get his o2 requirement down once he is more comfortable after the surgery. He is currently around 28% and on 1 liter. He has to be on .5 to go home on o2. I want to be with my baby so badly. It is the worst feeling being without him. I can't explain how amazing he is..he talks to me with his eyes and I can tell that he will be very smart. I wish others could be around to see what I see..it is an incredible feeling. He is such a natural breast feeder. I feel so lucky in that way. I pumped this morning and got 7 ounces so I am thankful that my supply is going up. I discovered that RCH has a gym so I worked out for the first time and it felt great. My stomach gets a little soar at times but I feel that after 12 weeks since the c-section now is a good time to start my exercise routine. Hoping that it will help with my postpartum.. Definitely feeling more depressed than sad which is what I was feeling at the beginning when all this happened.
I would love to stop by, and see him with you. I have a little calming gift for him, for when he has his Homecoming. I will most probably send it. I have been following your blog since the beginning, with prayers and love.
