Second Night

Kelly had the bandage removed and is healing good. Yesterday the doctor said that when they made a normal size incision that it wasn't big enough to get Garrett out and they had to make the incision bigger. Kelly has 12 staples that be removed on Saturday.

They removed the IV and she's up and walking fine. She is still very sore and tender, but the nurses are staying on top of her pain with meds. The nurses on the 3rd floor of Memorial Hermann Memorial City are all amazing. Gold stars for for all of them.

At lunch Kelly was able to start eating normal food. The highlight food of the day was the birthday cake with butter cream icing and ice cold milk. Kelly has been craving that since we found out she had gestational diabetes. Garrett and Kelly's blood sugars are both normal.

Garrett had his circumcision early this morning. From what I'm told, Dr. Jackson did a good job. Garrett is understandably fussy. They gave him some baby Tylenol and he slept for a while. He'll be healing up soon but we have to keep Vaseline and gauze on him. By the end of the day it already started to look better.

We're feeding him every 3 hours and he is eating about 20ml each time. Breastfeeding is still frustrating but it will get easier.

Without too much modesty... Garrett is the cutest baby EVER. He is absolutely perfect. He doesn't really keep his eyes open for too long yet but he's got a lot of cute expressions. It might be hard to tell in this picture but his hair is light brown with a little auburn.
