Our little Jas was the most perfect wonderful baby! But she had some meconium in her lungs at birth and her oxygen levels were not as high as they should be, so she was taken to the NICU a few hours after birth and put on oxygen. A few days later, she developed pneumonia, which irritated her lungs even further and meant she needed to go on antibiotics. She ended up being in the NICU for three weeks, which was very tough, but probably worked out for the best. I was on the edge of a physical and emotional breakdown and really needed some time off to recuperate from everything, so it was nice to have a little break and know that she was being taken care of. I liked all of the nurses in the NICU and got to know all of them pretty well after visiting two or three times a day for three weeks!
She had lots and lots of visitors in the NICU during her stay, so many people came to show Jas how much they loved her!!!
It was a little frustrating having her in the NICU because everything about her was so healthy except for her breathing. She was gaining weight, eating well, and so so happy! But we just had to be patient and wait for her to take her sweet time getting healthy! Good thing we love her so much, she was already showing us her stubborn side!
