We stayed at the hospital until Saturday around lunch time. People are right when they say you can't really get rest there. It seemed like there was a constant flow of hospital staff in and out of the room: Checking my vitals, checking Brennan's vitals, giving me medicine, taking my blood, giving me shots, taking Brennan for tests, bringing him back, etc. It wouldn't have been as bad if they didn't want to do some of these tasks in the middle of the night! Eventually, their pestering decreased and we were able to enjoy time as a family.
We also had plenty of family and friends come to visit at the hospital, which was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed meeting Brennan and getting a chance to cuddle with our little man.
Brennan also underwent an echo for one final check of his heart. Even though we had two fetal echos with regular results, we agreed with the pediatric cardiologist's recommendation to do one more check for reassurance. They were able to get a better picture and everything continues to look perfect! Brennan was also given multiple sugar tests because of his higher birth weight. Every three hours, they pricked his foot to check his blood sugar until he passed three tests in a row. It took him awhile, but he eventually passed. I hated watching them prick and squeeze his little foot and was relieved to know that they wouldn't need to continue.
Overall, our stay was good, but we were more than ready to go home!
