Day 20: Hiccups

 
Day Twenty. Sometimes when I get to hold you, little man, you have a tendency to get the hiccups. We have to be really careful about it and the amount of hiccups you are having, because they're a sign of stress when you are out of your isolette. Even though I think baby hiccups are one of the cutest sounds in the world, Mommy has to remember that our situation isn't a normal one. Sometimes, that is an easier said than done statement. Today during our visit, we started out strong. You were doing really well and your vitals were great, but then, the hiccups came. After several minutes of hiccups--the nurse and I decided that it was best to put you back in and let you rest. It can be agonizing to me, because I just want to love on you all day. However, I know that you need strength to be able to come home, so I am learning to be patient about this situation.
