Honeymoon is over
Nicholas is still doing well but forgets to take deep breaths regularly. Therefore, his sats have dropped a handful of times today. He's also had some drops in heart rate. Both come back up within a reasonable time frame, but we'd prefer not to hear the monitor beep. They say after birth, there is a time period in which everything is going well, called the honeymoon period. Then, things may back track a little. His labs have looked good the last couple of days, so, no blood transfusion and they are going to draw his labs every other day versus every day. They draw his blood via a heel stick; every other day is much appreciated in that regard. We left for about an hour yesterday afternoon and bought the little guy a couple of outfits. We figured he could use some motivation to grow, with two moms, he's sure to be stylish. We take one day at a time and are grateful for each day our little guy does well.
