Baby Home!
Mommy and Daddy came home with Kaylie yesterday. It was a happy and sad day all in one. Jase is still at the hospital. Mommy says that he has to stay there and sleep until he gets stronger. I saw him through the window and he looks so little. He had a tube in his nose and down his mouth. They told me that he needed help breathing and eating and regulating his body temperature. He seemed hot under all those lights but I guess he was not. He got to wear these really cool sun glasses because the lights were so bright. Mom said I had to wear them too when I was little but I don't remember. He does not have the breathing thing on his nose now because mom said he can do it by himself. That is great!! He also is not yellow any more so he does not have to wear the sun glasses. He can't eat so he is getting food through a tube in his nose. I thought you ate through your mouth but I guess when you are only 4 1/2 pounds you can eat through your nose. I might try that sometime. Mom and dad can see him only at certain times. I know that makes them sad. Some times when they go see him they can't touch him. The nurses told them that it takes a lot of calories away from him when he is touched. He needs the calories to grow stronger. I know mommy has cried a lot because her face is always red. She was happy to see me today and almost cried again. You should see her feet!!! They are so big! Daddy called them her club feet. I rub them and make them better. Well, I have to go help mom get a bottle ready for Kaylie. They told mom not to breast feed because it uses calories too. She has to pump her milk and then feed her. Its a lost of work and she looks like a cow being milked. Its funny.
