Bath Time !

Bath Time at the Brandt house. Daddy and Bo get clean after a long,hard, day in the sandbox. Baby Bo just loves the warm water. He sure is a good swimmer.

Our Baby Is Discharged From NICU

Baby Bo is strong enough to go home! It took Heath and I a half hour to get the base for the carseat secured in the car. We were so nervous to drive with him in the back seat. He was discharged at 4 pounds 13.5 ounces!  Bo will meet his pediatrician tomorrow in Amana.

Mommy is Sick AGAIN

I woke this morning with severe right flank and pelvic pain.  I had to call Mom at 8:00AM and say "help me".  I couldn't take care of Bo because of how uncomfortable I was.  I got a 1:30PM appt. to be seen in the OB clinic again.  They did a CT of my torso.  It turns out that I have a 8mm right kidney stone. The stone is blocking the urine going from my kidney to the bladder.  Causing the urine to go right back into my kidney.  Not to mention 2 other kidney stones in both kidneys that are 2 mm in size just waiting for another rainy day.  Mom spent the night with Bo and I in the hospital.  I was put on some strong narcotics for pain.  The doctors put me on a special medication that will help me pass the kidney stones.  

Bo had to do a trial run in his car seat.  He passed the car seat test! Hopefully he will go home tomorrow.  He could have gone today, but I was too sick.  

First Year Wedding Anniversary

Heath and I have been married for a year!  What a fast year it was!  Heath brought our wedding topper to the hospital.  We both took one bite and spit it out.  Year old cake is never good.  Bo was circumcised today.  It turns out the doctor that did the procedure was a gal that I went to high school with.  

Bo Loses His Belly Button!

Heath and I were changing Bo's diaper and his belly button fell off.....and  yes we kept it.  He is no longer in the isolet bed.  They have put him in a normal baby crib as he is able to regulate his own body temperature.  His weight today is 4 pounds 7 ounces.  Grandma Alicia and Jeff brought Mommy and Daddy Olive Garden for supper in the hospital room this evening.  It was so good.  I haven't eaten anything for a couple days because of the mastitis.  

Mommy Very Sick

I woke up this morning with a fever of 38.8 degrees celsius.  I have the chills.  I had to walk to the OB Clinic here within the hospital.  They diagnosed me with mastitis.  I have never felt so miserable.  I was put on antibiotics and hopefully this never happens again.  I was so sick that it was too difficult to take care of Bo.  The nurses stepped up and helped me.
