Allison here...well, Wyatt is quite a handsome young man. Although he has bruises on his little face - eyes, nose, and mouth b/c on delivery. When I went from a 5 to a 10 in 45 min he moved so fast through the birth canal that he got bruised...poor little guy.
He then went to the nursery for a little bit b/c his blood sugars were a little low. But he came to us around midnight. We then proceeded to attempt to nurse, but the little guy was soooo tired. So we tried every hour on the hour (exhausting) and then he finally nursed at 5 am for 20 min....but then got so tired he didn't do it at 8 or 9am. Then the pediatrician arrived and was checking the babies over and noticed that his lips were blue and his pulse/ox levels were 40 (they need to be above 85) so away he went to the transition nursery again. Although this little stinker brought his levels back up as soon as he got some formula...he seemed to be leveling off and was going to come back to us...but then his levels keep dipping then going back up etc. So the doc up there ordered lab work and a chest xray. We are waiting for results b/c he might have to go to the NICU b/c they can only stay in transition nursery for 6 hours.
I am not troubled. I miss my little man, but know he is in such good care. I don't believe this is totally abnormal for 37 week old, baby of a diabetic. How I wish that wasn't so. But, his lungs sound good, and his breathing seems good, and his heart sounded good...so they are looking into it. I am thankful for that.
I am pumping and trying to rest while he isn't here...ready to get nursing under way...
Thanks for your prayers. We will keep updating.
