SIX WEEKS?? Already??

Tomorrow Ammon will be six weeks old. I'm a little in shock that time has flown by so quickly. I looked on here and realized I haven't posted anything since he was born. Time to update this little wonder before he gets much bigger. Here are some photos since the hospital. I'll post more after I take some I promise!


Ms. Mallory brings me a round rock donut and gets to meet Ammon, May 23rd

 In the RR hospital on May 23rd.
Getting ready to go to the NICU downtown. May 25th
 On May 24th instead of getting to go home, Ammon had lost 10.7% of his birth weight and he was vomiting a lot, so the Dr. wanted to keep him for tests. He got some xrays and was on nutramigin for 24hours. He also got a blood culture that came back positive. The Dr. suggested that it might be contaminated, but they couldn't ignore it and so he was assigned to the NICU for at least 24 hours for antibiotics. Since there wasn't any room in the RR NICU, we had to be transported to downtown's facility where he had more xrays and an IV all weekend. By Sunday we found out that the blood culture was negative after all and he was doing fine. He was finally discharged on Monday the 28th. Seeing my baby hooked up to all those wires and a tube down his throat in an exhausted hormonal state sent me over the edge on the 25th. However all were better by Monday as it turned out to be "Much ado about nothing."
