Because of the complications Navy had when she was young with our blood incompatibility, they immediately tested Dash. It turns out that he had the same story going on, and they had him wrapped up immediately for some Biliruben light therapy. He was able to stay in my room for a few hours that way, but they saw his numbers climbing, and wanted to get him up to the NICU. So because of that, I only got to spend a few hours with my boy.
For the first few days, I got to feed the little guy under the lights.
Burping him was my weakest area of expertise, but thank goodness he compensates for my lacking.
It is so sad to see your little tiny baby have an IV in his hand.
Especially when it is in both hands! But it is better than when Icka had one in her head because they couldn’t find good veins in her hands. Also notice his little rash he gets from the lights. Poor little man!
But cute little man.
Don’t you die over those lips and those shades.
While I was up there, my kids got to watch cartoons and eat snacks on my hospital bed for the first few days. I loved having them there, but my sheets were nasty by the time they left!
Of course I got this awesome package from the Brockbanks!

I am really glad that everything was caught early, and I have really caring and competent doctors taking care of him.
