Most Amazing Visit Yet!

So last night Lindsay and I headed up to Mac to see Ayden… we knew that every other day was bath day… and so we thought since we haven’t seen bath time we’d head up and see what this is all about. The drive up was okay.. the weather was fine initially…

We got there around, 7:30ish and totally didn’t take into consideration that the hospital does their change over between 7 and 7:30 so the nurses were all in little meetings. We headed in right away to Ayden’s bedside. I always get excited every time I go in. There he was sleeping on his tummy.

He was swinging while we were there and a nurse that would watch the incubators while the other nurses caught up came over and made some tweaks and he was fine.

The night nurse eventually came and talked to us and told us that as of that evening Ayden had graduated to a different regime. So bath time that we thought would be at 8pm is now 9pm… and that his feeds which were previously 20mils over an hour with an hour in between was now 32mils every 1 hour with 2 hour break to digest.

So we had to wait..

after a little bit it was finally bath time… and I’ll admit I was a little excited. Here are the images I took of bath time.

Peek A Boo…

Ya! Finally That Thing is Off My Face!

“Mom’s just giving me a hand while they bath me… I just get a soapy cloth till I’m bigger”

I’m getting bigger!!!

Lets just get you out of there, and see what you weigh…

Hey, your the one that makes that milk I’ve been drinkin’ arn’t ya..

Ya Ayden you owe me for the censored box buddy… not to worry I’m saving the full version for your first girl friend!

I weigh 3 pounds 14 ounces

“Ah… tucked into a fresh set of clothes, a new bedding… and my soother… I’m heading to sleep now.”

And with that we told the little guy we loved him and headed off home. Sorry the update is late.. but the pictures make it worth it.
