Little G

So because it really is HER website: My baby. M: a big sis.


This is a bit out of order but a pain in the butt to move around on this laptop, so you get what you get:
Meet Dr Morris. I know a lot of people like/love their doctors. This woman will probably never understand quite just what she means to me. I actually get a little teary when I think about it. I know that's silly, but she kept me safe and she kept him safe and she cared while she was doing it. She comes in my room for rounds today and sits in the chair to "talk" to me. Like she's my friend. Who does that?! She also gives me a fair amount of crap- "Get over it- you have a perfectly healthy baby!" heh. She knows me all too well... By the way- his heart sounds perfect...
The three of us! Wow- I look quite a bit different from M's birth.
So I guess I forgot to post his name...heh. Griffn David is what we decided. Really I decided on this at about 28 weeks, but I couldn't ever get B to commit. We have a Big G in this fam, so this one is the little one! One of its meanings is "red" so it fits. We may end up calling him Fin- we'll see. Whatever you do, please don't refer to my son as "Griffy." Bad highschool memories...

So they laid him on me right away- he laid there for quite awhile until I couldn't stand not knowing how big he was! I can't believe he wasn't bigger!!!

I don't care how many times you have a baby- it is UNREAL that this thing just came out of your place.

So things were a little bumpy last night. G kept throwing up every time I laid him down. I started to get really nervous by morning. By about 11 pm he was eating GREAT about every 2 hours or more. Then he just started vomiting and acting like his tummy hurt. They kept assuring me that it was normal and fine, but you know me! Nothing like a little freak out about esophageal atresia to brighten your delirious night. He was peeing and pooping just fine though, so really I knew things were moving through. He quit eating overnight very well too- he would eat enough to keep his sugar up, but that's about it. I ended up only sleeping for about 2 hours though because he didn't puke if I held him upright on my chest, so that's what we did. I'm terribly exhausted today but can't seem to sleep. He has since quit vomiting since 8 am and has settled back into eating better. He really does great- I think he's eating me alive sometimes. I was hoping it wouldn't hurt as bad this time! AH! Maybe it won't hurt for as long....

G got circumcised this morning. He hated it. He was totally pissed for over a half an hour. I made B deal with it.

Daddy checking out his man:

I think he grew quite a bit cuter overnight. heh. I love him so much!! Yesterday I just felt so weird like I didn't know who's baby he was, but not mine! I couldn't figure it out! He's so sweet. I think he looks just like B. Starting to get a little yellow, but we had to take our bili blanket home last time, so it'll be nothing new if we do this time too. Dr M is pretty agressive in treating the jaundice. She doesn't screw around too much- one of the many reasons I love her.

I am totally sore today and I have petechiae all over my face and back. It's cute (for those who don't know it's burst blood vessles that look like little red dots). My arm and back muscles are killing me from pulling on the bed handles to push! Weak.

I felt a little sad this morning. Not really sure why- I think most likely it was a combo of no sleep, worrying about G, and hormones. I'm feeling better this afternoon. I miss M like nobody's business. She's with her Pepper today playing with the kids. I'm really not sure how my life ended up to be quite this good. Amazing isn't it??

Me and my babies: Wow that's a weird sounding thing to say...
