Going Home Tomorrow

Hey everyone, we finally get to go home tomorrow. I'm excited and a little nervous about bringing a newborn home but we are not alone. Maggie will be staying with us the first few nights for support. It's nice to know that a medical professional will be right down the hall.

I did better today. Feedings are going well. I managed to be present for every feeding from 2:30 AM to 8:30 PM and eat, shower and nap in between. I'm skipping the 11 PM to get a solid 4 hours while I have nurses to help me.

Max is doing good as well. He is no longer on IV Fluid and his lungs are doing great. He has a little jaundice that they will check on tomorrow but it's not high enough to keep us in the hospital.

Even Ben was doing better today! He had family run some errands that freed him up to tend to dogs and actually have time to just sit for a min. and go over baby paper work etc.

I couldn't imagine doing this without all the love and support of my family and friends. Thank you to eveyone for all the well wishes and advise.
