I got to hold him for close to an hour
I started crying when we headed back to my room (and even still holding him knowing I'd have to go soon) I didn't want to let him go I finally had him in my arms for the first time since last night he was more just next to me I was so numb..
He has a full head of hair with a mix of colors.. some is dark and some blonde.. I still haven't really seen his eyes both times I held him he was resting usually he fussed when he had a bubble or something but never did open his eyes.. Last night he barely opened them a slit and they just looked really really dark with abit of blue.. just normal newborn eyes basically.. He was really relaxed in my arms though.. It sucks with the c-section wounds though I had to have my boppy pillow on my lap to support my arm so I could hold him because it was straining my arms just trying to rock him a little..
I love him to death though he's absolutely adorable.. The NICU said I can come in every 4 hours when they do the feeding so he'll be up because when he's asleep they don't want to disturb him and want him to get as much rest as possible.. but it doesn't mean I'll be able to go in every 4 hours my nurses said it depends on how stable I am but they said maybe every other feeding if I'm up to it..
It kills me to think it will be like this for atleast another week.. Especially since I'll be discharged without him I just can't imagine going home without him.. Especially since we live afew miles out of town and it's like a 20 minute drive one way..
I just never ever want him to leave my arms it's not fair I'm so jealous of some of you girls that got to take them home not long after
and my poor baby is in the NICU with all these cords plugged into him and seeing him in pain
He almost started crying at one point he just seemed to be in pain I about cried I hate seeing him like that.. then have to just hand him off for many hours and go back to my room...
This is so rough..
