So, about every two hours, my cell phone would ring and I would get up and walk down to the NICU and feed Kendrick. It went okay. Scott came and stayed also.
Then, the next night we did another "sleep over". But this time, they would put Kendrick in our room and we would be "on our own" to take care of him through the night. Kendrick was also on the monitor and oxygen container that we would be taking home with us. He still needed to be on a trace amount of oxygen and have the heart and breathing monitor on him. So, we learned how to put them all on Kendrick and how they worked, etc.
I decided to try getting up and going to drill practice that morning as well. I wanted to go to practice because they had a performance that night and I wanted to see how things were going as well.
Our little sleep over went well, I was able to get to practice, and then when I came back, we were going to be discharged!
This was our room.
Kendrick--getting ready to go home!
Gotta love the oxygen canula!
Me and Kendrick.
Scott and Kendrick.
Loaded up and ready to go home!
We had a doctor's appointment that day and then we just went home and hung out. Kendrick was really good for two days. Then, it happened--he just started crying and crying, like he was in pain or something. Scott was at work, so I called and he came home. I didn't know what to do. We finally calmed him down and things went back to "normal".
The next night, it happened again--a little later in the evening this time. I called my mom to see what she thought I should do, and, she told me everything was probably fine, Kendrick probably just had colic. What, I thought, colic! Oh no, just what I need!
We have been trying all kinds of remedies and some nights are better than others. Hopefully it will go away soon! I just want to enjoy having a baby--but so far, it isn't so fun.
Kendrick, just after his bath. He still doesn't like tubby time!
Sunday afternoon nap with Dad.
