I'm so horrible because I didn't get very many pictures or video of the baby while we were at the hospital. Anyways, here is proud daddy with his baby boy.
I was already discharged from the hospital and was able to stay in the guest quarters because I was nursing and baby was still in the NICU. It was nice to be so close to my son. I was really tired though because I was nursing every three hours and it would take about 45 minutes for the whole process. Then when I would return to my room I would have to pump for 15 minutes. So I didn't get much sleep. The nurses in the NICU kept telling me I could skip a feeding and get a good 6 hours of sleep but I didn't want to miss any time with my son. I wanted to be there for him and encourage him to eat so we could leave the hospital.
As you can see from the below picture, Oloiso has a cabash (sp??) in his nose. While I would nurse they would feed him through a tube in his nose. Any milk I could pump would be put in the cabash. Of course they had to supplement formula because I was having a hard time producing enough breast milk to feed my son.
You can see how tiny my baby boy was with Kodi's hand right next to him.
Kodi visiting his baby brother for the first time.
My husband bought me these beautiful flowers. So bright and pretty. I LOVE flowers!
It even had this beautiful butterfly accessory.
The special note from my loving husband.
