Last day at the hospital. Last night was as eventful as the previous one. Brayden was hungry all night and wouldn't let Sherry sleep. We took turns watching him. I was able to get him to sleep for a couple of hours while Sherry got some much needed rest. Too bad the only thing on TV was the royal wedding, that almost knocked me out while I was holding Brayden. Good thing I brought my laptop, got to see Michael Scott's last day at "The Office". Not too funny of an episode, but it was appropriate. Will Ferrel's character is too over the top for that show, good thing he's not staying too long on that series. Downloaded the "White Noise" app for the iPhone after it was recommended by the Englanders. Worked for a little bit and does settle down Brayden when he's crying but if he's really hungry all hell breaks loose and he screams bloody murder. Brayden seems to enjoy the beach sounds as opposed to pure white noise. I may experiment with the other sounds on that app to see which is his favorite.
Brayden has trouble sleeping by himself. He either needs to be carried or he sleeps with his mom. As soon as I put him down on the hospital basinet, if he feels that no one is holding him, he starts crying. I guess he's still used to being in enclosed spaces, hopefully he grows out of it in a few days/weeks.
They'll probably discharge us later this afternoon. Doctors want to keep monitoring Sherry and Brayden's nursing techniques to make sure he's getting enough milk. He's a little jaundiced but at normal levels. Should go away as long as he keeps feeding and poops.
