Vincent Day 1

Correction: day 1-2 are the same day since Vinny came out 11:52pm on Nov 16

Vincent had a long day coming out. Mommy pushed for a long time 2+ hrs. Vince had some nasal flare so daddy had to go with Hhm to the level 2 care and watch him feel better before he and mommy could hang out.  Daddy and Vinny hung out for 3 hrs alone before we all got reunited in mommys recovery room. Vinny got his first shot, his first bath, his first diaper and clothes. 

Vincent Day 2

Baby Vinny was really well behaved. Today he fed and pooped all day. Vince got his first visitors as grandma and pa showed up to feed mommy. Vinny still needs to learn how to feed well and also can only deep sleep when he is skin to skin with mommy or daddy. Biggest thing today for Vinny was that he got a circumcision, we were told he did really well but he looks like someone that just got a circumcision.....shocked 

Vincent Day 3 

Vinny is home!!!  Vinny finally got to go home. Today he got his first elevator ride, car ride and first time out of the hospital.  He looked generally shocked when he got home.  Today He also changed into his first new outfit. But on the downside he finally stopped being polite and cried every hour.  Mommy had to finally feed him every 3 hours.  Now it's 4 am in the morning and mommy is tired and hurting but feeding Vinny. 

Vincent Day 4

I’m taking Motrin to help ease the pain.  Vincent is learning to latch on appropriately.  Mommy is doing such a bad job that Vincent has learned to latch on himself in awkward positions.  Breasts are feeling fuller and it seems like feeding has gotten better.

Today was Vincent’s first doctor’s visit.  I mentioned the hospital’s previous concern for jaundice so we did a check.  We will complete yet another blood test tomorrow to determine if it’s an issue.

The nurse drew blood from Vincent’s foot.  Vincent squirmed but managed to only cry a bit.  I’ve learned to pick Vincent up so that he’s comfortable and he often falls asleep in my arms resulting in the ability to straighten my right arm.

Rob is receiving the umpteenth boxes for Vincent - high chair, convertible car seat, etc.
