I think Noah has been spending too much time around nurses. He told me this joke yesterday:
How do you save a doctor from drowning?
Take your foot off his head.
His mom really liked it, but definitley a sign too much time around nurses. LOL
Well I hope you all liked the little post that Noah put up himself last time. He is so cute isn't he.
NOT SO MUCH.. haha ... He wasn't so nice to mom and dad lastnight. Daddy got pee'd on and mommy got spit up on. I think that is a sign that he is doing awesome.
Noah has been moved to the other side of the nursery, the more relaxed side. We are able to pick him up whenever we go there now and he is currently on his last IV.. and should be IV and Tube free after lunchtime today. He will still have a few wires on just to monitor his Resp. Rate,02 intake and BP, but it will be such a relief to get to see him without any needles poking or proding him. I think it will make him a happier baby as well.
His feeding is up to over 30mls a meal every three hours. It is an amazing sign. It looks as tho Noah will be on the boob sooner than later. We are very optimistic that he can start breastfeeding either tonight or tomorrow. After watching the way he attacks a soother... Julia is too excited. Even one of the nurses commented lastnight that she "Felt Sorry" for Julia.
He is able to hold his eyes open for extended periods of time now, which makes it very hard to leave as he only opens his eyes after we are done holding him and put him back into the cot. He then opens his big beautiful blue eyes and with the look only a child can give his parents, asks us with his eyes, please don't leave me. I may just have to put him in my pocket and bring him home.
Noah has requested no pictures from lastnight as he had the IV in his head and well.. he is his mothers son. However I will add a few tonight or tomorrow without the IV and his eyes open.
Stayed tuned and thanks for reading.
Noah and his parents.
I swear he looks just like you Chad. I can hardly wait to see him in his little person. But we will all be patient to let him grow and be healthy.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to the three of you.
