I feel like my life is one big rush, but the days are passing quickly. It's hard to juggle splitting time among Aliyah and Jayden, but I'm doing it! Bryan went back to work last Monday, so I've been on my own. I am recovering pretty good, still a little sore & swollen, but over all I'm doing good & I've only had a couple mental breakdowns ;).
I've been trying to do things with Aliyah like we did before so she doesn't feel left out. She has been really clingy & having more tantrums lately, which I knew was going to happen. She understands that jayden is in the hospital and he gets to come home when he gets bigger & better, but I don't think she truly understands that he will be LIVING with us & that she will have to share her mommy, daddy, grandparents & her house with him. That might come as a shock to her!
Jayden is doing so good. I am amazed by him, as are all of the nurses and doctors. He has a large opening in one of the arteries of his heart which caused him to have a slight murmer. The doctors aren't too concerned about it right now because he is not showing any signs of it bothering him. Hopefully it will just close on its own. If he starts showing any symptoms of it, he will need surgery. So fingers crossed! Other than that, he hasn't had any major changes. He is up to 2 pounds 5 ounces as of today, and is now taking a 1/2 of an ounce of breast milk! That may seem like a small amount, but it's alot for his little belly. He is changing every day & is so precious. I spend about 3 or 4 hours with him a day & I get to hold him the majority of the time. Bryan held him for the very first time yesterday. He was scared & didn't move the whole time, but it was precious
This whole thing has made our marriage so much stronger. I have definitely fallen in love all over again. I am so lucky to have such a great husband to love & co parent with. He is my best friend
We cannot wait to take jayden home & live a normal life again! Hoping the days, weeks, and months go by quickly so we can have our family all together
