The Question We've Been Waiting For

It's the question all parents in the NICU wait for. It tells you that your baby is coming home soon! And... today we got asked that question!!! They asked us if we had a car seat and asked us to bring it in so they can do a car seat check and have you sit in it for a while to see how you do. Wahoo!!! We're getting closer to you coming home! We're getting so excited! You're still 6 pounds 14 ounces today. We can't believe you're almost 7 pounds! Aunt Lois and Uncle Eugene got to see you a few days ago. They think you're so cute! So do we, but we're a little bias! Your little plastic thing that was on your pee pee from your circumcision fell off. You're still a little swollen, but everything looks good. We were told to make sure we still pull back the skin and wash real good. You also had another eye exam today and you passed it! You're good for 6 months! Your head ultrasound showed the blood is dissolving well and your heart echo shows you still have a hole in your heart so that will need to be checked again. You're doing great and we can't wait to have you home!
