Rooming in!

by Jessica

Well we got the call at 12:30 on the 11th from the nurse that we will be rooming in tonight!!! Meaning we will be staying at the hospital, our first night alone with our little girl and the nurses on hand if we need them!



Nothing too different than what I'm used to, except wanting to check on her every time she squeaks or grunts to make sure that she is breathing!


Floyd fell asleep soon after getting into the room and him taking his time with our daughter.


Renee sleeps in between all of her feedings and so far has been very receptive to us! I've noticed her smiling as she wakes up to our voices and I know she is ready to come home! And yes Mom that is the quilt you made her!!!!



The doctor is sending her home with an apnea monitor, because her lunges just don't take enough air in when she is sleeping! It is very loud, so I will definitely hear it when I'm sleeping!



Now we are just waiting for the doctor to do rounds and discharge us! The nurses are all excited that we get to take her home, and many have stopped by to say good bye to Renee!

Sister is finally coming home!



by Corah


Mom came home tonight from the hospital beaming with joy!!!! She told us that we would be meeting our sister this week. They took the feeding tube out and are now feeding her with the bottle or by Mom nursing her! So no wires or tape on her face anymore!
We are so excited and can't wait to meet her! Jack I'm sure will just lick her all the time! He is a clean freak, I think that is called OCD. He is either licking his paws cause he is bored, but when there is a baby around, his tongue does not stop and that is all he wants to do is lick them.

I can't wait to meet her!
