First Bath

Well, sort of. I washed his hair while he was still in his bed with all his wires and tubes. And I thought bathing Sophie and Meg while they were squirmy newborns was challenging! He didn't mind, though. Not a peep, and then he was awake while I held him for nearly an hour. Again, not a peep. He was so content to just suck on his pacifier and look around. Is this really his temperament? Did one of my kiddos finally get Greg's laid back personality, or is he just waiting until we take him home to let it all out?!? I guess we will have to wait and see.

From a medical standpoint, nothing new really. Which is always good - the surprises never are. He has one day left on his antibiotics, and they have disconnected the suction on the NG tube which makes moving him easier. I sure hope he doesn't have to go home with one of those things! His chromosomes came back 46XY - a normal boy. There are some rare chromosomal deletions that can be associated with heart defects, so although our index of suspicion was low, it is still comforting to have them back normal. His O2 stats have been normal all day, probably because Greg is too scared to hold him!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

Look how clean I am - and I smell like a baby, too!
