So yesterday was Mothers Day and I didn't get to hold Bryce, but that's OK I got to hold him today and he did GREAT! He satted in the 90's the whole time and was happy even after we put him back. He did lose weight though 30 grams but he's still 820 which is where he ends up every time he gains and then loses. So he's basically just staying the same, they keep adding calories to his food so hopefully he start gaining soon. His nurse was Patty today she cracks me up, funny lady and sweet as can be. At the end of the day around 4:45 it was time to get Bryce ready to eat so Patty did his evaluation (which they do every three hours) and then she had me change him. Well a few minutes before all this his heart rate started to drop way low and he had white knuckles from squeezing his hands so tight, so of course I panic and think something is wrong so I call the nurse over and she says "Oh he probably just has to poop" so when it came time to change him sure enough he had a little poop in his pants..... so Patty measured his belly to see if it was distended and she told me he might still have more to go well I didn't listen and continued to change him...... I should have listened... Me, the new diaper and the bed were about to become pooped... He shot a poo stream all over me, and his bed.... I didn't think he could hold that much in him! It was pretty gross, but its very good that he goes like that because it means his belly is still working good for him, which can be an issue in preemies.. So it was worth getting it all over me, PLUS Patty (who had just gotten done telling me not to get it all over the place, sorry Patty) had to change all his bedding which meant I GOT TO HOLD HIM while she did it! So it was definitely worth it! Grama and grandpa came by to visit that was nice.... So all in all, eventhough I don't want to say it, it was pretty good day! Knock on wood......
Oh and thanks to everyone for coming to Faythe Birthday Party yesterday, it was fun and sorry for being a mental case.... I'm a little stressed out right now.

Hi Erica!
I am so happy you chose to check out my blog and begin one of your own. I found it very therapuetic to journal what was going on with Edwin and Serena. I just commented before I read anything, sop I am going back to your entries to read them all now.
I hope all is well. We'll definitely stay in touch!
