Okay, before I start, please forgive me if there are typos in this post. I find myself tired again this week. Isaac isn't even home and mama is tired!
So, I called the NICU around 9:30 this morning. Again, nothing new today, C-PAP, gained some weight, etc. THEN..........I get a photo texted to me from David. Isaac is in a big boy crib! An open crib! They moved him right after I called. He is itty bitty in it but what an exciting day. They are trying to see if he can regulate his own body temperature. As of tonight when we were in the NICU he was doing fine. It was weird though because the bed is wider and he is in the middle. I can't reach him as well. but I can sure see him!
Arianna came in with us tonight too. She did so well in the NICU tonight, probably the best ever. She sang twinkle twinkle little star to him. She got so excited too when he opened his eyes a few times. She kept wanting to touch him.
Isaac's heart rate kept elevating. I asked the nanny about it and she said that his heart rate typically goes up when he is awake. But when he is resting, it is back to normal. However, when she went to feed him around 6 PM she pulled out a large air pocket out of his tummy. I think he might have had gas and that was giving him a tummy ache. Once the air pocket was out he rested peacefully again. I actually think he cried louder than Arianna did as a newborn. It will be so fun getting to know him when he is home!
First "big boy" clothes now heks sleeping in an actual crib. He's making good progress.
