He was moved and will now be right across from Rosie. NICU B is a lot calmer and quieter than A. His oxygen has been moved down and he has begun feeding - just 5 mL, but that's a start. While we were there, we had to change him twice! He never stops moving - he may have had a tummy ache as we heard a lot of GAS! I swear he's going to pull out every line going in. He just pulls and pulls at anything that is attached.
Rose was sleeping when we got there, but soon we heard a lot of crying. Seems she had a massive blow out - dirtied her entire incubator. The good news was I got to hold her while everything was cleaned up. With only a feeding tube, it's a lot easier to see her face. She was wide awake and was looking at both David and me. Her temperature dropped a bit while she was out in the open so that's something she's going to need to work on. It was a really special time. It was so cozy holding her close and talking to her. She's moving up on her feedings tonight. I hope I can keep up with their demand for food.
While I held Rose, David spent time with Max trying to sooth him. It was a big change to get moved all of a sudden, but I'm glad he wasn't in the A nursery. It got very loud and chaotic very quickly. David got Max to relax quite a bit - he loves his binky.
She's looking at me like I'm crazy - or her belly still hurts.
Believe me - It looks worse than it is - the head cover is to protect from the light for the jaundice - the pink "cast" it so he doesn't pull out his IV - which he would definitely do. He's a squirmy worm for sure. Perpetual motion.
Max certainly takes after his daddy...we were very thankful for blanket sleepers!
