6 pound baby boy!!!
well, our little boy is now 6 pounds!!! Dad and I spent the weekend together here in Oakville and we spent most of the time at the hospital with our little cutie. Saturday night dad and I bathed him together for the first time and we also weighed him. We did a little happy dance when the scale said 2726 grams which is 6 pounds. Ayden is doing better each day with his breastfeeding…but we find that in the evening he is just sooo tired and fusses a bit with the feeding. The nurses however have been great. I have told them that I don’t want them to use bottles as I want to solely breastfeed and they have been respectful of that. So in between the times that I am not at the hospital for breastfeeds, they use his feeding tube. So each day is getting a...
Regarding Showers FYI…
Hey gang we’re almost in to baby shower season.. and I just wanted to let those who are attending know Lindsay and I are registered at Baby’s R Us part of the Toys R Us chain. Thanks again to everyone who’s shown their support. Jeff and Allison we’d like to extend our deep appreciation for the gift of some gas cards.. Which have become an amazing gift now that mom is regularly at the hospital feeding. Today was particularly rough saying good bye to Lindsay as I headed home from the hospital I hadn’t seen her all last week. Today I came home as she’s having a baby shower with Lily and that side of the family. Today I’m gonna be watching my godson Kristofer have his confirmation so that’ll be a great time. Hmm I...
Ayden Gets The Hiccups
This video is from some time ago… As we got to hold him more, we got to learn about the new noises he’d make and he’d start with these grunting kinda clicks that often became hiccups… I couldn’t stop laughing at him… turn up your audio for this one. Ayden VS The Blanket
Feb 5th
Sorry for the lag in the updates, but a lot has happened in the last few days. Since the car died and I am travelling quite a bit to and from the hospital, I was spending most of my day driving and it was just getting exhausting. On monday this week my dad came to pick me up so I could stay at his house in Oakville which is only a 20 minute drive to the hospital rather then over an hour from our house. I can’t tell you how hard it is to be away from home…. But Ayden is doing so well with the breastfeeding that I am feeding 4x’s a day now. This means that I am spending most of my day at the hospital with the little man. So far we have had successful feedings…except for this morning…he was a fussy little man and didn’t know what...
Ayden update Feb 2nd
Hi there. Dad is still feeling really sick….I hope that he gets better soon…. As for Ayden, it’s been a rather busy weekend for him. First off, he weighs 2659 grams or 5 pounds 13.79 ounces!!! sooo close to 6 pounds! This weekend we have also started breastfeeding twice a day, 9am and 9pm. This means that I have to drive back and forth to Hamilton twice a day…(and lets not speak of the truck breaking down…). But Ayden is doing well with the breastfeeding. He is getting the hang of it, but gets tired really fast. They also took his feed and did what is called a bolus feed. His food was going into his tummy by using a pump that pushed the food through a feeding tube. A bolus feed is where you put the milk into a syringe and hold it...
Cherry To Top It Off
Well Dad here one more time… as if this weekend hasn’t been fun enough I’ve spent the last few hours puking my brains out. I must of filled at least a liter and a half in the bucket I have here… granted after that I feel great. General rule RockStar energy drink is HORRIBLE the second time around… omg it’s bad… make it stop… on the up side I wont have to worry about how things are gonna work with cars on Mon as I’m sick as can be… weeee lots of fun.
