Tuesday, June 27th

So today was weird. But in a good way, I guess. Holden has had a few rough nights and last night was no different. He cried, unconsolably, for most of the night with a few patches of sleep in between. At around 7:40 this morning, our nurse came in and said, "They just called and have an opening to do his sleep study, but they want us down there, like, now." So we hurried around and went down to the sleep study area. We were pretty nervous the whole way down, as the first sleep study was pretty terrible. The guy who was going to be doing the study was very nice and calming and Holden slept the whole time the guy was putting the probes on his head and wrapping him up. This alone put us at ease, since he was basically screaming the whole time they were hooking him up for his first sleep study.

We were a little surprised when he asked us where we'd be during the study, as the last time we were told we needed to stay in the room. We told him we planned on staying and he looked confused. He said, "Oh no, we take care of everything down here for you. Usually this is a chance for the parents to go out and take a little break. Go get some lunch or something." We decided to take him up on his offer and Jose and I went and got breakfast and then went and walked down by the canal close to Riley. It was such a beautiful day and, knowing our baby was in good hands, we enjoyed spending some time just the two of us.

As always, we were glad to get back to our little man and they told us that he did great and slept through most of his sleep study and that we should know the results by tomorrow.
