Since Little Lou was under 5 pounds, and younger than 37 weeks, he had two reasons to have a car seat challenge. Well, he failed his carseat challenge. His oxygen saturation and heart rate decreased. They then tested him in a car bed, he failed that as well. So now Little Lou is hanging out in the NICU. I gave a picture of mommy and daddy to look at. I am going to make him a sign with his name on it soon. He is in a regular bassinet, just monitoring his vitals. Turns out I didn't escape the NICU after all.
I was supposed to go home yesterday as well. Then my pressures spiked out of no where. I am suddenly rocking BPs of 170s/80-100s. Yep, PP PE. The earliest I may get to go home now is Monday. I'll live, I just look around this hospital room and wish my little man was still here with me. It has been so emotional. I actually called down to the NICU yesterday and asked how Vincent was doing. Then I cried for being such a bad mom I forgot his name.
Little Lou's hospital photo shot emailed me the picture site. Check out little Lou's pics! Leave him a comment and some love. I want to save these for him so some day he can see how many people all around the world cared so much about him :) That first 4 letters of my last name are Dell
Well, I am heading down to the NICU in 10 minutes-waiting until my next dose of oxy before going down. I want to buy him a stuffed animal or something. Or a locket with his picture in it- I love picture 8 - don't you?"I need to talk to a lactation counsellor. Right now I am pumping and dumping because I had a CT with contrast. I am still not sure wether my milk is in. It increases every day, but still seems so little. I don't know. I hear the NICU lactation consultant work miracles!
I need a new blos design - blech. Maybe that will be a project for another day!
Much love and HAPPY EASTER. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
much love,
Jamie
Thinking of you. *Hugs*
