Another time

Mom and I went to the hopstial last night to see my sweet baby boy. I was looking forward to holding him. That did not happen. His heart rate is still dropping, so they are going to wait until his heart is stable before I can hold him. His PDA (and artery that is between his two main arteries of his heart) hasn't closed off. This usually closes with full term babies on it's own. They are giving him ibprofen to help close it. I'm hoping it will work. If it doesn't, then he will need surgery to clamp it closed. I did get to check his temperature and change his diaper. I know it sounds silly, but I was very excited to do those things. Two of my doctors came into the NICU to see me. I cried as soon as I saw them, got up and gave them both a HUGE hug. I love them. I really do. The nurse informed me that I'm not allowed to bring in any more breast milk for a little while. Each baby is allowed 3 bins of milk in the freezer, Felix's are full. What can I say, I love making the milkies for my baby. Here are a few pictures from our visit last night.

Sleeping on his belly.

That stethoscope is so tiny. It doesn't look so tiny on him, but it is.
Changing his diaper. I was SOOOO excited when the nurse asked me if I wanted to change him. I want to help take care of him every opportunity I can.

I was a little nervous, he's so small, and I was afraid I'd hurt him or something.

Ronald and I are going to see Felix every Sunday together. I look forward to that. Yesterday was a good day (minus the fact that I couldn't hold my baby). Felix is back up to 2 lbs. and is doing very well. I am so thankful for that. I am exhausted, which is frustrating, but I will rest some more today so I can see my baby tomorrow. I love this boy.
