FIrst Nights at the Hospital

Well the the first night at the hospital everyone asks about So I thought I'd share. It actually was great. Sarah's friend Jen thought we were nuts but we took advantage of the nursery. They took him and brought him back when he was hungry. We got to sleep which Sarah definatly needed. It was a Godsend, but....


The second night however was not so good. Jason and Kim came by and held him and cuddled him and I guess he must have been hungry or something but he got very gassy. So when they left we tried to feed him but he fought Sarah tooth and nail. I knew something wasn't right because I swaddled him and he usually loves that. This time he just cried. I did all his favorite stuff but he just wasn't having it. We battled for 4 hours trying to get the gas out and feed him. The nurse really wasn't any help and that was kinda confusing because the nurse we had previously was awesome. Shout out to you BETH! So we decided to get a little formula in him just to get food in him. Then we sent him back to the nursery. We were both so worn out emotionally. Sarah was frustrated thinking she was doing something wrong. I couldnt get the gas out . It was just all wrong and getting tense. We said lets just get him in the nursey let them take care of him. We will get throught the night and when Beth and the nursing consulatnt come in the morning we will deal with it then.

That was the best thing we did. The next morning was like magic. The nursing consultant came in waved her magic wand and poof he took the nip. Switched sides and poof he did it again. Later on we had some issues but then Beth came in and she waved her magic wand and sprinkled some magic Good nurse from the west dust on it it and poof he took again.

Needless to say Sarah asked to take the magic wand home and a bag of pixie dust incase we needed to use it again. Since then the boy sees nips just like all boys , yum yum.

HE sleeps great except he is a huge twitcher. He jumps in his slep. but I like it because I dont have to check for he breath all the time. I guess be just have get home and see what happens.
