Busy day...

Ok... so not quite busy... we had to go to the pediatrician and that's it. But it was a chore to pack up all the feeding machines, medical docs, and baby Owen and get out the door on time. I had the idea of going to Target afterwards, but as you see in the picture... Owen was doing what I was thinking... NAP TIME!!!
The pediatrician was awesome! I followed Jean's advice and went in the employee entrance to avoid the germs of the Dr.'s office lobby. Thanks for that advice!! :) Owen has gained one pound and one inch in his first month...which is pretty good considering. OH, and night 2 at home, he slept through the entire night in his crib again....with no spitups.

We Survived

We survived Owen's first night at home!! He slept through the night but we did get have a pile of laundry this morning after 3 yucky diapers, 3 mucus pukies, and spilled formula... but we did it!

This morning is another story...

I burnt 6 pieces of toast, Owen pulled out his NG tube (so I had to put it back in), he's gone through 2 outfits, and now he's sound asleep on Kamryn's chest on my bed. I have yet to eat or shower and it's already 9am...yikes. At least the kids are fed, Owen had his meds on time, Carson got off to work in one piece (he did forget his lunch though) .... so we'll say it's been a success!

His weight today was 3.63kg which converts to almost 8lbs!! YEAH!! (assuming I weighed him correctly)

Owen is finally HOME!!!

One month old and finally home....Owen was discharged at 11am today!! Kamryn and Carson were waiting in the lobby at Phoenix Childrens to meet us. Kamryn and Owen are busy getting to know eachother and Kamryn is loving the role of big sister. She has eagerly changed his diapers too! I am busy getting his meds on a schedule, blending formula and getting organized... ALL the things I love to do.

Here are some pictures of his first moments at home.
