Kira did a spectacular job last night rooming in with Aerin, as her craven husband fled to "look after the dogs." The staff was nice enough to find a cozy room just across the hall from the PCN where Kira could have a go at taking care of Aerin all night long. Unfortunately, Aerin's apnea monitor kept losing its signal. Each time, it would sound an alarm shrill enough to rouse dogs sleeping miles away. Eventually, the nurses gave in and swapped the monitor out for a better one. Aerin's Momma will room in at least once more before the discharge.
Aerin was a little tired from the experience as well, but she had a good day otherwise. Grandma Rita is in town again; she got to hold Aerin for the first time. It was a thrill to see that.
Yours truly had a big day as well. Aerin's dad gave her a bottle feeding and diaper change for the first time.

Wow, sounds like an eventful night for both Kira and Aerin.
Andrew you may be coming a pro at baby care in spite of yourself.
THanks for the update.
We miss Kira

Oh, dear, an equipment malfunction! Glad it was worked out. :)
And I think all dads are incompetant their first diaper change-- I know my husband was scared out of his mind when they brought Emma in to be changed and I asked, "Ever changed a diaper before?" "No." "Well, you're going to learn, then!" and proceeded to give directions... *laughs at the memory* It gets easier, trust me. He's quite a pro now, you will be soon, too. :D
