Got to stay home today! Gave Jacob his first bath…took off the dots. Cleaned the messy counter spot while he napped. When Katie was finished with cleaning, I worked on laundry, made the bed. Got stuff done. It felt SO GOOD! By afternoon Jacob needed oxygen again. And he threw up twice. By nightfall I was really worried. He needed more oxygen today than yesterday and I don’t think I’m getting enough food in him. I’m afraid he won’t have gained weight when I take him to his appointment next week. I’m afraid because he still needs more oxygen. I’m afraid they’ll take him away. I asked Dave to give me a blessing. (he said tomorrow). We watched a movie and crashed. Jacob usually starts the night sleeping in his bed, but he tends to get cold and I tend to get tired. I can keep him warm, and slightly upright(so he doesn’t throw-up) and pay attention when he is in my arms. I do wake up every time he grunts or coos. Not sleeping well. Some nights he eats every two hours, but only 1.5 ounces. Other nights he takes in the whole 2 and a little more and sleeps longer. We are still trying to find a routine. Both of the girls got to change his diaper today. Oh, and they “babysitted” while Dave and I had a “date” in our room. We came out at 10 to find him sound asleep in Emily’s lap.
