5 Days old and progressing.

Only 5 days old little Ryder is making his progress. He is eating better than we all expected. He is eating regularly and sleeping, Ryder dropped a few ounces but after Saturday nights feed of 52 mL and he was back up two ounces in weight. All which may be ticket for him to leave the NICU this week.

Serina was discharged from the hospital last night. She was battling some headaches that were getting worse but resolved with medicine. The doctors were concerned with a spinal headache after her epidural, yet we all noticed she's had very little sleep since Ryders birth on Wednesday. Despite the emotional heartache of leaving Ryder Jeremiah  last night at the hospital NICU, we all feel it will be good for her to be home to rest and get more than two hour increments sleep.

Ryan went back to work today and I'm sure his mind is occupied with everything but work as his family is still healing and growing.

These pictures are from yesterday when we visited Ryder. My timing is always great and we got him on his nap time, I find pictures of a baby's sleeping to be the most adoring pictures of all.


Hung right over his crib in the NICU.

He had just had his hearing test and he PASSED!

Chilax'n like a big boy.

Yes, he's under there.

This new Momma has had minimal sleep as she's already sacrificing what we all treasure (sleep) to be there for her little baby.


Ryder's stuffed animal's Serinas been snuggling while she sleeps.

This new Dad has been craving Costco hot dog of ALL things and he finally quenched that craving!

Serina and Ryan have been please with all the staff at Mission Hospital. They have been sponges absorbing all there is to know in being new parents.
 

Walk with me, Mama

Walk along side me, Mama
and hold my little hand.
 I have so many things to learn
that I don't yet understand.

Teach me things to keep me safe
from the dangers of everyday.
Show me how to do my best
at home, at school, at play.

Every child needs a gentle hand
to guide them a they grow.
So walk alongside me, Mama
We have a long way to go.
