James Walker- Friday

Tim went home to take a shower while Walker and I napped. Then Dr. Hearn came and got him for his circumcision. He also asked if I wanted to go home today. I decided to wait until tomorrow. I told h I'm it was like a vacation. He laughed and said I deserved it especially after my quick labor yesterday. I am still in some pain, so it makes it difficult to get up quickly. Plus when I am here I don't have to worry about laundry or cleaning up.  Plus we had some great nurses who are taking great  care of us!  Our hospital is "baby friendly" meaning the baby always rooms in with the mom. Only babies who are sick or in need of extra observation can go to the nursery, so you really do need someone else staying with you to help. Tim offered to keep the boys for my mom, but she knew she would sleep better at home with them.

Walker was gone about an hour for his surgery. I finally took a shower and put on my own clothes. I felt so much better (along with taking pain medicine). They came and did some of the newborn screenings- hearing, PKU, etc. Walker slept most of the day and wasn't interested in eating.

Today Papa Jerry, TuTu, Brent, Noni, and the boys came to visit. Grandma and Grandpa visited through Zoom.  The boys were wild again! I had to do se school stuff so Noni cuddled with him.His appetite has picked  too, and he is eating great! He was weighed again tonight was down to 6lbs, 15.5 oz.

Walker had the hiccups tonight and was awake for almost 2 hours. That is a new record for him!   He kind of had a rough day with Tim slept the first shift, and I got the second one. Walker had a hard day with his surgery and testing, but he was a good sport and really only cried during diaper changes.
