well Nixon has had a fun day so far. woke up and after his bottle it was present time. He got a 3 wheeler trike with a hand out the back for mummy and daddy to push him along! he absolutley loves it, loves the bell on it and we took him for a ride down the street with it.
after that is was off to get our ultrasound. all went well and i'll update details in my preggy journal soon.
From there we headed back to the Mercy where it all began. My gf from mothers group works in nicu so met up with her and she took me inside. all the memories come flooding back, the smells, the beeps, the quietness of no babies crying. I did really well, im so glad i went back b4 leaving. I seen some very tiny babies born at 24weeks 500-600grams, it was quiet surreal.
Once i started seeing bubs around Nixon's birth size i was still taken back by their size. seen a few nurses that i recognised but unfortinatley the main DR i remember has moved interstate and the main girl wasnt on.
So i asked my gf in lamens (sp?) terms how sick was Nixon. As it was all sort of a blur back then, the termonology was overwhelming we didnt really know just how sick he was.
Without scaring me she said he was quiet critical in the first 72hrs. she told me of some disease they call it prems can have (big long word) that i never remember hearing of and it main concern (other then the immature lungs) was the seizures he had which they were quite concerned about. He was treated for it at the time ahd it of continued he would of had an MRI. The only way to tell if it is all ok is developmental milestones. Which clearly he is on top of that.
Im a little surprised the Paed never brought this up at all his check ups, but i suppose thats what he was looking for at the appointments.
anyway i really feel somewhat recovered after that and i can now move on.
Anyway my trooper is having a nap and when he wakes up he's gonna be having some cake mummy made for him yummo!
