NICU: Week #3

Par -
Milk factory is keeping up with demand

Miss Sophie is sweetie pie




Sophie sleeps with her mouth open, hee hee.



Theo doesn't like studying race & ethnicity either!

 Both kiddos have graduated to the "open" crib!

Open crib, but still a lot of monitoring

They check heart rate (between 100 and 170 is normal), oxygen saturation (want to stay above 90%), and respiration rate


Theo concentrates hard on learning to breastfeed!


Little bean! (But with BIG hands!)

Multi-tasking Papa

    P.S. KCL has great boobs; not complaining.

    Carrie, you crack me up. I'm usually here without Laurent, so all the photos are self-portraits. And thus, the only photo is one of the partial boob. 'Cause that's what defines me at the moment -- my milk production factories. Sound familiar? :P

Hit a rough patch

Yesterday was a tough day.  Little Miss Sophie had an impressive spit-up episode where she stopped breathing and turned red and was choking.  It was scary and left me shaken up for the rest of the day.  I was also tired, exhaustingly utterly tired.  And then little miss Sophie had a series of poopy diapers that didn't look quite normal.  The nurse kept checking in with the doctors and finally they decided that a series of blood tests and an x-ray of Sophie's tummy were necessary.  The results of the blood test said that she doesn't have an infection or bacteria, but they want do the labs again later tonight to make sure nothing has been incubating in her system.  The x-ray also doesn't conclusively show that everything is normal with her intestines.  So, they are erring on the conservative side and Sophie is on an IV again.  No feeding for 48 hrs.  More x-rays and blood tests along the way to chart her progress.  If everything is ok...

So much to be thankful for! Wonderful Thanksgiving!

There are sooo many fun photos to share from Thanksgiving, thank-you to Jess and Linn for taking them (and maybe others too, I'm not sure).  I thought maybe being away from family over the holiday would feel sad and a bit like something was lacking, but really it felt like warm, loving family being with Jess, Jeff, Linn and Cliff.  We also had Jenise, Simon, Brigida and Duncan come later in the afternoon to help us eat the three pies that Laurent had made -- that was a blast of warmth and fun too. Sophie and Theo were not shy, they loved having all the friends and family around.  And you'll see that Sophie in particular was ecstatic about the zip line that Papa and Cliff set up in the backyard.  She did not want to come down from it. Thank you to the Hoyts for merging your Thanksgiving celebration with ours.  Linn was my Gravy Angel and she also shared her awesome sweet potato recipe.  The day was delicious and fulfilling on many many levels! ...
