I just want to say thank you for all the comments that I have been getting... your feedback is great and I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything that I am getting back from everyone!
This weekend was super busy and we did not get to see the baby as much as we had hoped. I feel like I spent hours in Buy Buy Baby and Target only to find a few select things I had chosen from the registry. We also spent hours cleaning the apartment from top to bottom while taking time off to fix our cars and visit with some family members for a little bit. My life seems so much busier after having the baby and he is not even home yet!
Well, when I called the hospital to check up on the little one on Sunday I was told that he might be able to come home Monday... he didn't. The Dr who was checking his chart on Sunday said everything looked great and that he could be discharged. I was very happy to hear that so when I got to the NICU on Monday morning I was very upset to hear that he would not be coming home now till maybe Thursday. Apparently he had an "episode" Saturday night while he was sleeping where his heart rate went really low (lower than it should have gone), but he recovered within a few seconds. The Dr said it is nothing to really panic about but it is something to keep an eye on. Even though I want him home now, I know that it is good for him to be there a few extra days instead of having a bigger episode at home. It is for the best.
As we cleaned the apartament the other night, it made me realize how much babies need. Most of the closet is filled with baby stuff and my boyfriend and I have a very small space on either side of the little ones for our stuff. He also has his cradle, a dresser/changing table and will be getting shelving units to hold his toys, books and other stuff. He has taken over. I am ok with it all because I know my little man will be home soon. That makes me happy.
I do have a few more things to do before he gets home and I had better get going so I can finish. I just left the hospital a little bit ago to eat and run errands so I better hop to it! I will give you another update on how everything is soon!
