A month old and going

Went to see Wesley at lunch. His nurse was on break so I was in there with him alone.  I turned his head over bc he keeps wanting to lay on one side and right after his heart rate dropped and he stopped breathing.  I know this is normal to happen sometimes but it did give me a mini heart attack. I rubbed his belly and he went back to normal.  When his nurse came back I told her what happened and she wrote it down.  I talked to her about kangarooing and planned to do it tonight.  
He got to have a little tummy time towards the end of my visit.  He loves being on his tummy. 
Joe and I came back tonight and told nurse I wanted to kangaroo.  Then another nurse came in and aparently there was a nurse switch and we got a different nurse.  Somethig about the new one didn't vibe.  Maybe lack of confidence. The first nurse tells new nurse we were just about to kangaroo.  The new nurse takes over and does all his vitals which the last one already did.  She puts blood pressure cuff on him and he cries.  More than he has ever.  He got so worked up he stopped breathing and heart rate dropped.  She rubbed his foot and he went back to normal and dropped again. She rubbed his foot again and back to normal.  I don't like seeing these events.  I wish he wouldn't have them when I'm around.  
She said that he's real stressed right now.  I said should we not kangaroo? And she said probably not.  So no kangaroo for me.  She put him on his side to see if he breathing would get better and he made a cute pose.
Looks like he is thinking real hard on how to scare me next.
Well we are going to go home early bc me sitting here is stressful.   Wesley wanted to send a msg before we left.  I'm teaching him sign language :)
