here is a small clip of Ian while he is being checked out by the Midwife just minutes after being born. you can here me clicking away with the camera... lol.....
as for today here is a small update on what happened. Ian had his a hip scan done. everything came back just fine.... he is started to stay awake a little bit longer. and my a little bit longer i mean like 5 minutes at a time. now i am sure that all of this will change and i will wish he would just stay asleep, but right now i just want to see my son awake doing cool things. i dont know what cool things would look like, but i would like to see them..... as for Chantal. she is doing good. she told me today that she is feeling great. that she is not hurting at all. although we went on a walk and about 30 minutes afterward her back started to hurt. i think we over did it on our walk. other then that she is doing great. she is healing very well. she is so ready to come home. her room mate has a baby boy that has a set of lungs on him. she says that he cries so loud and all the time. when he cries the other lady doesnt take him out of the room to settle him down. this isnt a problem until its time for bed and Chantal and Ian cant get any sleep because this other kid is screening like crazy. as for me. well i am doing good. it hasnt really sunk in just yet. but give it some time and i am sure that i will feel like a dad. although i am starting to feel like i wont hurt him while i hold him or try and pick him up to hold him. i think that change started to take place this afternoon while i took a nap with Ian. after i fed him (and burped him) i laid him on my chest and ended up falling asleep. which was amazing by the way. i have a feeling that this will become a habit :-). but here is what i know for sure. my love for this little man is growing more and more by the minute. i didnt know that i could love a person this much. i am so thankful that God has found me (of all people) worthy to watch over this wonderful little boy.
tomorrow will come our first taste of how things will be for a while. the pediatrician will be coming to the hospital around 0730 - 0800 to check all the babies out. once he is done they said that we will be allowed to come home. which in our eyes is a good thing. (though the midwives have been great. i know that we will miss them). so i am sure that tomorrow night when he is all ours and we have to do everything ourselves our song will changes a bit... lol....
well stay tuned for more updates. again while you think of me and my family remember our friend that found out their 3 year old boy has Leukemia and keep them in your prayer. so please pray for them before you mention me and my family. because everything is ok with us but things on there end is still a roller-coaster.
Did they think there was something wrong with his hip?
ReplyDeletenooooo.... that is just something they do with all the new babies.... they still have quite a bit of test to do. but the ones that they have done everything comes back ok.
