Ladies a message from Vix:
So sorry I deserted you today, I had the worst recovery day ever today. I actually felt great after the C-sec and slept like a mother of 0 children LOL but the pain drugs had a bad effect on me this morning and I spent all morning vomiting. I couldn't even keep water down. At one point I was so sick of being sick I was hysterically crying. I opted out of having any pain meds at all so far since 2:30am just because I was so sick everytime I looked down to try and BF Alex I had to vomit into the bowl. Thankfully by 2 I snuck a whole load of sweeties down my neck and started to at least manage to focus my eyes. Everyone keeps telling me "no sugary stuff, no gassy drinks, no coffee etc" but it was all of that that finally got me to stop vomiting and focus my eyes. I managed to eat lunch after that so then Finally went to see Jonathan in NICU nearly a whole day after he was born.
The sister thinks I'm crazy to have had no meds today but I'm not actually in pain, I'm just sore and stiff. I promised when they come and collect Alex and take him to the nursery for the night I will have a shot of meds then sleep the rest of the night away.
The boys are doing really well, I have a fantastic British Peadiatrician Dr Walker, so on my level for everything including sense of humour, just a shame he is a Man U supporter. LOL Alex as you know has not needed NICU at all, he's just real small but as strong as a regular baby. Jonathan is in NICU but has not needed any assistance in breathing, His lungs are very strong. He needs to be tube fed because he is too small to get the whole suck, swallow breathe routine right but in a day or 2 they will try to orally feed him in small amounts and see. The head sister at NICU says he is hard work in a good way, he is fighting them and trying to prove himself bigger than he is. They say he thinks he should be in the nursery not NICU LOL And that he misses his bully brother. Everyone keeps telling me how well he is doing.
DH is sooooooo chilled now, he is way more into the care that Jonathan needs in NICU, I think he's taken that on as his responsibility and is FOREVER in NICU, I have only been once LOL But that is so nice to see. He talks to him and touches him as he lays under the heater, he's really such a great Daddy.
O.k I will have to fill you in more when I feel better but for now I'm really struggling to keep my eyes open.
Love to all!
