8lbs! that means that over this weekend, since Friday my little piggy gained like
10oz thanks to my abundance of milk that came in! My parents, Derek and I decided that today would be a good day to watch the delivery video, and while watching it I realized I left out some stuff!
I completely forgot I was throwing up while trying to push him down, which Ariel my nurse was like just keep letting her it is actually helping Dreycin to come down more. I also didnt see that my doc pulled out that handles in the bed because he realized I just wasnt getting the physical support I needed to push from Derek and my mom. There was a part in the delivery where they took Dreycin and did his footprints, but I didnt get to see any of it because my parents and derek were standing around the warmer he was placed in, so i got to see that too. I also got to watch Dreycin's first bath in the nursery, which obviously I didnt get to go to!
Last night Dreycin actually let me get some good shut eye! And he slept in his crib, for some reason he hates the playard? so i think for the time being we are going to move the crib in our rooom so we can continue to get sleep in 3hr increments! The pediatrician said that letting him go longer than 3hrs on his feeds at night were ok to do. He is definitely feeding very well, during the day it varies from every 2hrs-
3hrs. The only thing we have been dealing with is a little acid reflux, which my mom recognizes being a NICU nurse and we have been keeping him upright after feeds. He has been a little irritable with some bouts of gas, but for the most part he is a perfect baby. When you talk to him he listens so intently, and gives you great eye contact. He especially likes when my mom speaks to him in spanish! Last night we tried some tummy time and Dreycin was really strong with his head, arms and feet!
such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteTucker hated the pack n play too.
it was right next to our bed and he was NOT having it.
so at 2 weeks we moved him to his crib at night and he's slept in there great ever since!
And we don't even have a video monitor. Yeah, don't ask me how I got through those first few weeks, I don't know!
I got up at every little noise and went running into his room to make sure he was alright.
Sounds like Dreycin is such a good little guy!
It's such a blessing to have an easy baby!
