Parks,
Hey little man. I am at home right now and missing you and your sister like crazy. Daddy and I came to visit you this morning for your 8:00am feeding, and you did great. You are really on a roll with this eating thing. They also turned your air flow down to 0.75 (you started at 2.0) and you haven't had any episodes. Hopefully you have taken the time with the nasal canula to really get in the right habits with always remembering to breathe!! There is a cute movie called "Finding Nemo" that I will probably show you in a couple years. I think you'll love it. In the movie, there is a fish that sings a song that goes "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming..." Mommy likes to change the words and sing to you: "Just keep breathing, just keep breathing, just keep breathing, breathing, breathing." I have a horrible singing voice, but atleast it is usually boring enough to you to put you to sleep. Daddy and I are going to come visit you again tonight, hopefully for two more feedings today. It's so hard to stay away, but the nurses keep reminding me that if I do too much and my blood pressure issues come back, then the meds they would put me on for that would mess with my milk...and we aren't going to take any chances with that. I promise to do all I can for you. I love you so much.
All my love,
Mommy
Marlee,
You are stubborn, but I have to say I love it. Daddy fed you again this morning when we came to visit. You just get so comfy in his hands that you try to sleep through the feedings. It is so hard for daddy because he wants you to eat well and get comfortable that he can feed you without the nurses to help. I feel the same way. They always have tricks and seem to have more success with getting you to eat than I do. I think my stress level with wanting you to eat so much might play a part in it. I need to just relax and let you do it...but I just want to do it right. I know we will work it out...it's just taking some time. You finished your bottle this morning in about 22 minutes which was pretty good...daddy fed you for the first half, and then the nurse took over when you tried to sleep.
Last night when daddy and I got home from the hospital, we were missing you so badly. We came into the house, and it was spotless! Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Patrick, Lucy, Claire and Tony had come over and cleaned the whole house for us! It was amazing and truly took a huge amount of stress off of me. I can't believe what a difference it has made, but it just feels good to have the place clean and ready for you when you are ready to see it. I know you will always help mommy keep the house clean, right? Even if you don't, I will still love you to pieces. :) I can't wait to see you again tonight. I miss you and I love you.
All my love,
Mommy
