3 days old - Mid-day Notes

Written September 4, 2013 1:58pm
Hello!

Evan had a good night. He had a little freak out when they flipped him in his back but was able to stabilize quickly.

Around 11:30, Evan had his first milk lunch! He's only taking about 1 mL every 3 hours. (I'm milking about 34 mL every 3!) I'm breaking up the milkings into 10 mL bottles so it isn't wasted. The lactation consultant said I was already working on filling another bin in the freezer!

We left the hospital around 1. We gave Evan a little pep talk before leaving. It's hard not being in the same building as him. We are encouraged to call the nurses anytime. We'll probably call in a little bit to see how his 2 pm levels and move went. We'll head back down tonight to hang out with little man.

We are waiting for him to poo. Since he wasn't really eating up until this point it hasn't been a big deal. I think maybe we need to read him the book "Everybody Poops".

Almost home now. I am ready to pump and then take a nice long nap.

As sad as I am to not be so close to him anymore, it was wonderful to feel the sun on my face!
