The next evening and day would prove trying given that Sadie didn't want to lay down. All night she screamed when untouched in her box, so Rob and Liz held her. Nurses came in and out, telling them she had gas, needed to eat, was just a newborn. The next morning, after a night of holding her in their arms and trying not to fall asleep, Judy Perkins, a new nurse came in and listened to their concerns. She noticed that Sadie was turning blue and took her to the nursery to be evaluated. The next 6 days would be in the ICU where Sadie Lynn got stabilized, rested, and lived monitored like a hawk. Does anyone know what it's like to breast feed when there are 3 wires and an IV hooked up to your baby? :) I do. And when the alarms on the monitors are going off all the time you can imagine it's not the best experience for you or the chickadee. Oh what fun I had learning to breast feed in the ICU.
