Well, our little "big" guy was sent to the NICU Tuesday night after being monitored in the nursery for about 5 hours. We had noticed that he was breathing fast earlier in the afternoon so they took him back to the nursery. After awhile they consulted with the neonatologist and he ordered some blood tests and a chest x-ray. Our family doctor was coming in that evening to do his circumsion so he was able to check him out and look at the x-ray. They all came into my room to let me know what was going on. The x-ray came back fine, and they were waiting on his blood work; but wanted him to be closely monitored so they were going to take him up to the NICU. They kept stressing to me that he was going to be just fine-but it was better for him up there than in the nursery where they had about 22 other babies to look after.
I understood and was fine with everything, but it was still very emotional. Luckily he didn't have an infection, or anything else. And we were able to take him home Wed evening after he finally got his circ done.
Here are a few pictures from the NICU:
Our poor guy all hooked up :(
Big Brother Aiden coming to take us home. We had to put on the gown and gloves, but it was fun putting everything else on him too :) He looks just like Daddy!
He was so funny holding his arms up like that-looking like he was going in for surgery :)
We're happy here because we get to go home soon!
