We spent most of Monday at the hospital. At about 7:30pm they moved Morgan to a private room in the Ronald McDonald House which is on the same floor as the NICU. She was our responsibility until almost noon the next day. Between getting used to all the little noises coming from Morgan's crib, and the not-so-comfortable bed, we didn't get a whole lot of sleep that night.
Starting care-by-parent. "Are you sure you're ready for this?"
However, Morgan continues to live up to her reputation as a pretty laid back baby. Since being home, sleep is a little easier to come by and we're starting to get our routine down. She does pretty well sleeping in her crib if either of us ever put her in it...of course we're catching up on holding her and enjoying her not being tethered to any equipment. And I'm pretty sure she is enjoying it too.
Ready for bed...except for the sleepy part. (Thanks for the PJs and blanket Uncle Alan & Aunt Cara.)
Story time. In my own room! (Thanks for the book Miss Ursula)

ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see Morgan home. She is just beautiful. Your story makes our 22 day NICU stay seem like nothing. =) I look forward to reading any future posts. You should keep the blog going... one day it will be a journal to look back on. They grow so fast and time flies... cherish each moment.
