My sweetest memory was when Isaac was so sedated we weren't eeven allowed to hold him and I was to scared to do anything but stare at him.. Dh happily got up took his temp, changed his nappy and all those other little things. He would also very confidently feed Isaac through his tube. I was way to scared to do any of that..
Isaac was a 37 week baby weighing in at nearly 10lb. Born perfectly healthy. 12 hours later he stopped breathing and started having seizures. We spent 16 days in the hospital and while that is short for some I swear it was the longest 16 days of my life. To this day they are still uncertain as to what was wrong, only explanation was a possible lack of oxygen just before birth..
ETA: Jacob and Olivia also spent time in the SCN, but we also felt better as it was so familiar. With Jacob though we were not expecting it so of course we cried a lot. With Olivia they told us before she was born she would be sick (she proved them wrong and only spent one full night in there,)
