Published by Kerry | Filed under Uncategorized
Jeff and I got to the hospital this morning, and will be here all day long, into the night – we’re doing what is called “rooming in”, which is one of the last things they want you to do with your preemie(s) before they come home. YAY!!! We are solely responsible for their care today, and won’t get any help from the nurses unless we request it. We are doing all of their Cares, and all of their feedings (which have all been through bottles today – Max got his feeding tube removed today just like his little brother). It’s kind of like we’re playing “house” with them, but it’s actually really nice because it will help us prepare for what it’s going to be like once we get them home (minus the monitors and hustle and bustle of the NICU). Anyway, I thought I would document an hour block of the day in photos…

12:10 p.m. - Jeff gets pooped on by Max

12:20 p.m. - Max and his clean diaper are happily taking a bottle

12:30 p.m. - I get a "thumbs down" from Wes for waking him

12:31 p.m. - Max gets burped by daddy - he finished his bottle!!

12:32 p.m. - I turn around to find Wes trying to eat his hands

12:35 p.m. - Max looking up at daddy like "is that all?"

12:36 p.m. - Now Wes is sucking his thumb - awwww!

12:40 p.m. - A very sleepy Max fighting to stay awake on daddy

12:50 p.m. Daddy catches (a blurry) Wes smiling at mommy

Ok – I almost died from the cuteness of Wes sucking his thumb. Sigh – would it be wrong if I married him in 18 or so years?

Could have done without getting pooped on, but I guess that is all part of the game.
