Evan was born 7 days ago and I got to pick him up for the first time today! It was time for his nightly weigh in and I was asked if I wanted to help. Did I?! My job was to scoop him under his head and buns so the nurse could calibrate the scale. I then had to quickly set him down for the weigh in. Just like with the first diaper, I was a little fumbly. Poor Evan had to be weighed three times because the first two times I did it were way off. I was being too delicate with him. After watching the nurse scoop him I now know I can be a little firmer. He was very soft but still floppy with his extra skin. Evan was weighed naked so as his nurse said "now's the time for him to pee on you!" (He was a good boy and didn't.) After the weigh in, I changed his diaper. I definitely am getting better with that! Now Andrew's got to get in there! The nurses said that they always let mom do all the firsts and then Dad can help. Yay me! :)
Evan picked up another primary nurse tonight. He's becoming quite popular. His nurse said that he reminded her of a little boy she took care of a few years ago. He was born just before 24 weeks and is now going into first grade. I love hearing success stories!
