NICU

Sorry, but not sorry for the picture overload.  I want to remember every minute, and every second of Bronx's birth.  Here are a few pictures from the rest of our hospital stay.  They are a little out of order.

This is from the nursery, only parents are allowed in there.  So, this is the nurse holding him up for the Grandmas to see.  

They only let me feed him the one time after he was born.  They were afraid that because of his fast, shallow breathing he could aspirate his food into his lungs.  So for about a day and a half, they had him on sugar water.  He was such a good boy. 

He is in the NICU in these pic.  I breaks my heart looking back at all of these pictures.  He was so tiny, and fragile.  It was really hard having him in there, not really knowing what was wrong and not knowing how long it would be till he would be well enough to take him home.  

The boys getting scrubbed up to give Bronx a blessing.

These pictures are from the nursery.  I was afraid to pic him up, since at that point they still didn't know what was going on with him.  

The doctor's said that he had TTN.  Which had a long medical name, that I can't remember anymore.  Basically he couldn't clear out his lungs when he was just born, and it caused him to have those rapid, shallow breaths.  I'm so thankful for our pediatrician who trusted us to take him home with us when we left the hospital.  I don't know what I would have done if I had to leave him there:(
