VLOG: Newborn In Town!

Hey guys! So I feel like I haven't vlogged in forever and that's because every time I attempt to someone barges in the room. It's just been so much going on. I can't wait to do the labor and delivery story because that itself is a mess and I wish I could have documented so much more but like I said it's just been people in and out in and out in and out in and out. I haven't had a time to like relax um it is nine o'clock July 15th and like I said before in and out I literally just had a full house so hopefully I get a break from people for a little bit from the nurses, the doctors, everybody because it's been crazy. EJ is sleeping there and Troy's being here so I know you guys really want to see him. He's just so cute and I love him. Uh I just have so much medications to take and I have so much like blood work done and the nurses kind of screwed up my arm a little bit and bruised me up but it's okay. So today's planned I have to attend a class on I don't know what I think parenting if I'm not mistaken but she was like you have to go at 11 o'clock and so I'm not looking forward to that because I'm exhausted and I haven't slept in like days like well I slept the day I had Troy but I was under so much medication that like I didn't know I slept if you know what I mean like I was just so out of it but like I haven't really slept in so long. I'm sleep deprived and I can't sleep when he's awake because I just can't even though he hasn't been awake if you know like he's usually sleepy and that's how newborns are but like whenever he makes a grunt a noise anything I'm like alert I'm like I'm just staring at him you know so I don't know I'm going to take a shower today excuse me I'll put my own little gown on and um attempt to look presentable today for this class and I have to wash my incision and so today is gonna be a busy day I have so many pills to take so all the medications that I have to take I'm not really looking forward to it but I have to do number two and this is a stool softener so I should probably take that one now because TMI but yesterday I tried to do it and I couldn't like it was just like painful okay so yeah let me show you the baby before I go because he's just so adorable and I know you guys really want to see he is so cute and hairy I love him let me know who he looks like to you guys I feel like I don't know he's so adorable though I just love him so much okay so you probably see Earl and the camera's probably shaking I had to put things on top of things to make the camera stay but I'm just taking my pills right now and then I'm going to attempt to look good so I'm gonna hop in try to use the get some stuff out of me if you know what I mean and then I'm going to hop in the shower and do my makeup today I'm a little nervous though just because EJ's sleeping so I think I'm gonna wake him up just to watch Troy I mean he's sleep Troy's sleeping but like I just like to be I don't know I like I'm just a paranoid first time mom you know what I mean yesterday I literally almost cried y'all because I was feeding him and um the the milk came out of his nose and oh my gosh I thought he was choking or something I'm like oh my god I can't do this so I mean I heard it's normal you're just over paranoid your first time around um I know eventually I'll get over it but it's just been really really rough this whole labor kind of just knocked wind out of me so I'm a little just on edge a lot of the times and I just want to make sure he's a-okay 100% so I don't know but I'm gonna take like at least a five minute shower just to watch my incision uh that's what my doctor told me to do and I'm hoping that I get to leave tomorrow because unfortunately I still do have the pre-eclampsia uh the aftermath and I have to take pre-needles and just all this extra stuff that I didn't think about having to take um yeah and I actually ended up failing at breastfeeding I'll get into more in a labor and delivery if you hear EJ snoring I do apologize so anyways yeah that's pretty much that I really really have to go to the bathroom and it's just a pain honestly to walk there and so for those who have that mindset that oh a c-section is easier than you know labor or you know like a natural labor or whatever it's all the same the healing is even worse actually so it's so bad I really really wish I had that water labor but you know like I said that's a whole different story that I can't wait to get into but yeah so um this is my little souvenir I really like it it's a really nice cup makes me feel kind of important don't judge me I don't know why it makes me feel important um oh I didn't show you look what the nurses did to me guys that's another story itself again oh he's crying okay duty calls you guys baby boy's crying oh no he's fine in his sleep I don't know like sometimes when he's sleeping he'll make grunts and noises and stuff and I talked to the pediatrician about it and um they said it's completely normal it's completely fine sometimes he'll cry I don't know where I'm like is he having a little nightmare oh my gosh let me attend to my baby boy just in case you guys uh let me you know I'm always paranoid it's my hospital bag oh goodness bending is gonna be a challenge for me but gosh I don't think I could do it oh I got it yes all right guys so can you believe I haven't opened it since I got here and I get discharged tomorrow yeah they literally provide you with everything at this hospital so I've been taking advantage of everything free okay just being straight up on it first thing we can check here's my slippers which I bought these and didn't even use them because I have my hospital um this is my discharge dress this is the gown I'm probably gonna put on after which I'm gonna use to dry myself actually and oh I'm in so much pain my face lotion wash toothbrush and I'm looking for my I mean that's my toothpaste I'm looking for my toothbrush I'm gonna find it I got one for arrow and I oh yeah okay so I'm gonna have to use the bathroom and I'm gonna head to do things I get so worried about leaving baby because you see he's gonna like cry you see that hi baby hi baby hi honey are you okay puppy you okay puppy I don't know I think I'm gonna have to wake him up just so he can be alert um I changed him and everything he pooped he peed and he's fat so I don't know what else but you know he's a newborn so I don't want to do the cried out method it's way too early I think you know I have to I'd like to cuddle him and you know he's so fresh but okay anyways let me go use the bathroom and everything it's in the bathroom for literally a minute you guys like I went in the bathroom everything was cool I said EJ keep an eye on him by the time I sat on the toilet Troy just like screamed I'm like oh my goodness you have to be kidding me so I came back out and he just wanted to be held apparently so you know look he just wants to be just wants to be a cuddle bear right now and he's sleeping now sorry I'm all zoomed in on you anyway so now I'm gonna go and uh I'm gonna go and take my shower so EJ we have a class to attend at 11 o'clock they said we have to go they said we have to go and take the baby I can't take him by myself I don't want to go I don't know why it's a requirement I don't even know what the class is about but yeah so and at first I'm like I know the baby can't be hungry because I write down his feeding like when I feed him so I keep track and he literally just ate there's no way he could be hungry he just wants to be cuddled right now so now that he's with his dad I'm gonna go and like try to look a little bit decent okay because I've been looking like a hag for the past days my hair looks crazy and I'm sick of looking at myself oh my gosh you guys look okay all right so so far I look halfway decent when I say halfway I mean I feel fresh but I didn't do my hair or anything like that and my stomach is killing me thank goodness I just took my medication for it give us my boppy honey so we got EJ and I got this complimentary um certificate thank you the other way thank you boo we got this complimentary um birth certificate for Troy Troy he was born July 13 at 7 14 isn't that cool and then look what the nurses did yes look at all these bruises I mean I know that it's their job to like nip you and stuff but got it um I was gonna hold him because he was being cranky and now he's fine oh nope he's about to cry he's about to cry I feel it or why I love holding him when he's like cranky I know some people are like no don't get him used to that but I'm like you know they're baby ones this may be my only child after the labor I had so I'm taking full advantage EJ pass me him boo I'll hold him he should be in his own world y'all he'd be in his own world let me sit myself up um the doctor he got checked by the doctor today EJ got checked EJ missed it all he got checked by the pediatrician my doctor came in like three nurses came in child services came in everybody came in today thank you boo I really don't like him on this side ah you like him on this side no I like him on the other side let me adjust myself yes Troy Troy uber everywhere Troy Troy you like my new version of the song uber everywhere oh look at my baby boy my little baby my little baby Troy Troy my little precious he's probably like what's going on what's going on yes papito oh look at my little papito oh he's so cute oh he's falling asleep he's falling asleep oh look at his little smile look at that little smile I decided to have some photography pictures done are you excited Earl look for his first little photo shoot there you go honey see how cute you are yeah he's adorable daddy wants you to look like a big boy that's what we're doing we're making you look like a big boy with a nice hairdo like a big boy huh yeah good boy little suck if he pooped on this bad boy yeah big you're you're a cutie yeah so the photographer just left EJ and I have had a busy day well mainly me people just keep no I mean like because you were knocked out half the time you know but people have been coming in and out I don't know we had a lady come in and asked if we wanted to do a newborn hearing screening and since I got my degree in speech language pathology I know a thing or two about that because of my audiology courses so of course I'm going to do it and um I'm hoping he passes the exam he did pass his jaundice exam which is really really good right now I'm just eating the lunch oh yeah we just um fed him I need to write down the time that I fed him because I'm always forgetting gosh and I like to be on top of it because when he cries sometimes he's already fed he's already changed and you know sometimes he just likes that comfort of being held but EJ and I did really good photos I love it did you like the photos I was so emotional I was trying not to cry when she showed me the video I think it was the music in the background she showed us um like uh the photos but you know with the music in the background I was so emotional I was like trying to suck it in um but yeah so this is my food I feel I find that the lunch that the hospital gives me is the best I'm not even gonna lie like I can't even front I like the meatloaf I don't like their breakfast I feel like the breakfast and the dinners are terrible but the lunch is always like a one on point so yeah I need to make sure for dinner that um like I call them his hat he just wants to be changed little man just wants to be changed but uh yeah so I need to make sure that I call the lunch uh not lunch dinner to make sure that I actually order because yesterday I forgot to order and they gave me like generic food and it was like gag so yeah that's pretty much that okay he just got his newborn hearing screening done I am done with him having tests at this point over it he had to have um blood work done last night uh he had the newborn screening test which that was optional but I figured why not because you know I if he were to be deaf I would want to figure something out now um just a lot of tests he had done and I'm just I don't want no more tests for him I'm very overprotective at this point you know so I'm just gonna cuddle him for a few hours and just bond he's stucking his little fingers you see him he's so cute I'm just gonna bond with him for a little bit because I feel really bad for having him take all those tests I just love him you guys so yeah I'm in so much pain too by the way so I'm gonna just lay down and just relax with baby boy we're just bonding with little baby show them choi choi I would show them me but I cannot move hold on let me give him an update I am still in so much pain I'm in so much pain it's not even funny by the way EJ got me those flowers but didn't have anywhere to put it so improvise okay and we're watching spongebob not really it's just on the channel but oh it's a little choi choi oh isn't he just so precious did he bring joy to your life Earl we just love someone so much who we live to serve but what time is it do you know around what time it is already I mean that's it it feels like that I'm in another hospital time is going slower I'm gonna put some lip gloss on and lay down oh I attempted I'm sorry guys you see me all beat up but this is what this is what uh I was gonna say this is what pregnancy does to you but this is what um I hope having a baby does to you I'm getting my Vaseline that I got from the Dollar Tree always
