He is a very sweet little guy. He loves to be held and swaddled. He really only fusses when something is bothering him, but other than that he has a very calm temperament. He loves to watch and observe all that is around.
Kai is also gaining some weight; he is getting cute little baby rolls on his arms and legs. His last weigh in was on Sunday, when J took him to Primary Childrens to have an emergency replacement on his g-tube button because the balloon wasn't holding in the water. He weighed in at 2.9 kg (6 lbs 6.2 oz).
Zuri is handling having a sibling around much better and much worse than I thought. She only has minor bouts of jealousy with Kai. Usually it is when I am holding him and then she also wants to climb into my lap and be held. The hardest times are when I am busy with Kai and Zuri wants something right now that we have the most problems.
Earlier today we had a scare with Kai, he was crying and not able to breathe correctly even after suctioning several times. He was rapidly turning purple so we hurriedly took the trach out and put in a new one. Turns out the trach had become plugged with some thick mucus. Zuri, not understanding the severity of what was going on, was busy throwing a tantrum because I had left her in the middle of our activity to help J with Kai.
On the other hand, she is also very attentive with Kai. She loves to watch him sleep, and always wants to touch him. She knows that she must put on hand sanitizer before touching him, so I always have a clue as to what she is up to when she asks for the hand sanitizer. It is really cute.
So he is almost the same size as a newborn baby, right? That's good.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see the cute little guy. I should find some toys that he may like. :-)
