Day 7 and the Little Boy is Home

[hkellick]

I didn't write this morning, but the news was generally good.

Instead, I'm going to write about today.
We got to the hospital about 11:50 or so, went up and little Robert is no longer in an isolette unit, but a bassinet (a plastic one, but..)
And he had gained weight and was now over his birth weight. Hooray for Robert!
Oh, and for the first feeding, the hearing specialist was there and little Robert can hear!

But the best news of all.. he was likely to be discharged. Today.

It was extremely hard to not get our hopes up. All we needed was the doctor's OK.

So 3:00 comes and we're trying not to be over the moon, and we see the doctor who checks him out and gives the OK. So we go through the discharge process (make sure to do this for baby, make sure to do that, etc.) and an hour and a half home, we're all going home.

Holy shit, there's a baby in the house!

.. tonight is going to be a looooong night.

*beaming* This is really good to hear. I've been busy with work and my own family medical stuff and not reading my Network page much since Wednesday, but I've been hoping y'all were doing all right.

I have very happy memories of the day we brought Herself home. That still feels more to me like the day I want to celebrate, rather than her birthday! *GRIN*

Yay! You get used to having an infant in the house and it doesn't take too long, don't sweat it. :)
