Another great thing that happened this weekend was losing his IV - he had no need for the IV nourishment anymore so the big IV in his arm is now gone. Yay! Kieran absolutely loves being free of that IV & the accompanying armboard!
As for today, I found out that he will no longer have humidity in his isolette, so it's time to wear clothes! His grandma Gale and I went to Baby Depot today to get him a couple outfits, and he can wear the hospital outfits as well. I get to put him in his first outfit tomorrow, so I'll be sure to take pictures :)
Other than that, Kieran's just growing and hanging out. We're doing kangaroo care every time we're together and we're all loving it per usual. He is quite an active, strong little guy - we're always having to readjust him because he's scooted down really far. Sometimes I see him attempting to flip himself over from tummy to back - though he hasn't done it yet, he sure tries!
Look how good he looks already! He has really filled out. What a beautiful boy! Keep it up all of you! Love Aunt Shelly
ReplyDeletelooks like grandma is helping you too by letting you get some needed rest between visits. how's maia handling you being gone all the time?
ReplyDeleteHe's just so darn precious!!
ReplyDeleteWell, Anonymous...Maia is handling everything really well! I liken my visits with Kieran to being "my job" - I wake up with Maia and have breakfast with her, try to get her dressed & ready, then I'm off to see Kieran. I am home when Maia wakes up from her nap and with her all night. Josh comes home for dinner so he can see Maia, and he takes a late-night shift with Kieran. I think she's got a nice balance of seeing mom & dad and that helps with coping for sure.
