Well, it's true - Ben has been back home for almost 24 hours. We scooped him up Wednesday and were home in time for his 6pm feeding.
He even passed his carseat and eye tests before leaving the SCN. So, no more silly car bed (well, in the car. He loves to sleep in it during the day) and hopefully no worries about ROP (Retinopathy of Prematurity - a scary eye problem for preemies who got oxygen)
We took him to his pediatrician yesterday and he weighed in at a whooping 5 pounds 9 ounces. A full two pounds heavier than his birth weight.
The first two feedings at home Wednesday weren't great, and I started to worry we'd be back in the same boat. But then had super duper feedings since then. We even did some breast feeding yesterday at noon. He went to town for about 15 minutes and then slept in my arms, up against my chest, for a few hours. It was SO peaceful.
I certainly hope that I'm not jinxing anything by writing about how good he's eating, sleeping, and pooping - but he's been a trooper.
We are very, very blessed.
