no more room…
Well we officially have no more room in our freezer. Mark and I had to re-organize the “milk freezer” today. Found out that I have close to 500 containers filled with milk and that’s from December to now. That equals 105 cups of milk or 6.5 gallons!!! Ayden is never going to catch up!!!! As for the little guy, he is doing well today. Just sleeping, eating and pooping (the night nurse told me that last night she was wearing long sleeves and Ayden had a nice big poop that was EVERYWHERE…including on her sleeves…that rocks!!!). The nurses have told us in the last few days that he is one of their favorites. There are a lot of babies in the NICU, but most of them stay for a few days and then they get to go home. Ayden as you all know will...
Snuggles make my day!
Snuggles with Ayden just make the day so good. Today dad and I traveled to Hamilton again to see our little boy. He was wide awake when we got there. Lying on his back and just staring at the world around him. As we got there, I had to go and pump so dad got some one on one time. He told Ayden stories of all different things and then nothing at all. dad talked about playing together and things they will do together when he is older. He also told Ayden that he was really proud of him and hope that he gets off the CPAP soon. When I returned, it was snuggle time!!!! I asked Dad if he wanted a snuggle, but he said that he would like me to snuggle today. I sat down in the chair and they had this AWESOME pillow for me today. Normally its just a regular pillow that you...
YEAH 4 pounds already!!!!
Hi everyone! Ayden is up to 1824 grams (4.02 pounds)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 So today has been another good day. I went for a visit this afternoon to Hamilton to see Ayden. When I got there the nurse had Ayden’s hat off to give his head a rest from the pads and pressure that the CPAP holders give him. The CPAP was still on (as Ayden still needs this), but it was nice to see him without his little hat on! I spoke with one of the doctors today and he asked if we had been given the results of the last head ultrasound and I told him no. He said that the little water spaces that we had to drain with the spinal tap are actually getting SMALLER!!!! HORRAY..this is awesome news. He also said that he thinks we have averted any operations to put a...
Eye Spy
We thought you’d all like to know that Ayden’s eye tests came back with no signs of eye disease and growth and development is progressing normally. I know I know – Kind of an important fact to forget to write… but better late than never! cheers
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...
