My last 10 hour day at Beaumont…well hopefully. We are planning on taking Andrew home tomorrow! Andrew is 5 pounds 8 ounces! He has grown so much during his NICU stay. We had another meeting with the lactation consultant today. Andrew has developed some bad bottle habits in the past week. It’s funny to say this, because he just started gulping down bottles, which is what we have been waiting on to go home. He’s taking bottles at inconsistent amounts, which is hard because he seems to just gulp the bottles down. Hopefully getting home will be the solution. The doctor’s said that tomorrow will be the day…after the echocardiogram. During our meeting with the LC, he was off of the monitor…so I wasn’t even able to peek at it to watch his stats. That’s the bad habit that Brian and I have developed over the past five weeks. “Don’t watch the monitor, watch your baby.” That’s all we heard. So we had our last meal in the cafeteria and we took a lot of our bags home. We can’t wait to take our vehicles off of auto pilot to Beaumont! Tomorrow at this time, we will all be home! We plan on spending the next few days getting adjusted…as much as we can? We do have to make a trip to the pediatrician on Saturday morning. So we’ll keep you updated…and try to post pictures.
