Jacob's first full day is in the books and it was a busy one. He is currently up in the neo-natal unit (they took him up around 1 am). He still has some fluid in his lungs and his respiratory rate keeps going up so they wanted to give him just a little oxygen. They will keep monitoring him up there for the rest of the day. He also has an IV to feed on so his little body won't have to stress too much to eat. The doctor says he is just taking his time to transition from womb life to the outside world.
We visited him around 6 this morning and he seemed fine, just hooked up to a bunch of things. His color was really good and shortly before we left he woke up and was very responsive to us. We were able to sleep some last night, but aren't caught up yet. Stress and sleep don't usually work well together.
Check back here for more updates. For now, here are just a few more pictures I was able to take yesterday before the excitement began.
PS - His hair looks red in the pictures but is actually very blond. The flash seems to give it a red tint.
