Today's schedule has been all over the place and it threw me off with my normal blogging time. There was a woman delivering via c-section downstairs and they were gonna need to bring the baby to our Nursery 5 right during the time when I hold RJ. Anyways, here I am now blogging quickly before heading to bed. Tomorrow is a crazy schedule as well, so not sure when I'll get a chance to blog. Today there wasn't much to report on the rounding. RJ lost a lil and was 1130grams. Sorry, I didn't have a chance to convert it to lbs and oz. He had 2 real big stools, no change on NIPPV settings, able to wean FiO2 into the 30's overnight. All great news!! Last night Robert and I went back for RJ's 8 o'clock cares and bath time!! Bath time comes every 3 days and happens on night shift. RJ doesn't seem to be the biggest fan and cries a lot. The crying is really good for his lungs and gets them really open. I held him right after to help warm him up and he was sating 100%!!! It was fantastic!! I asked today about giving RJ daily bathes, but the team stated not until he gets older b/c right now it's hard for him to hold his temp. Plus it's an extra stressor. They did suggest learning infant massage that is a great way for stimulation and a great mommy/baby bonding. I didn't get a chance to talk with anyone who is trained in that today. Here are a couple pics from our terrific snuggling time today!! He did great and we were together over 2 hrs. If it wasn't the shift change time, we could have kept snuggling for hours. :) Thanks again family and friends for all your love and support!!
