A break from a long day at the hospital.
A break from the sterile pumping cubicles.
A break from cafeteria food.
A break from long talks with nurses.
A break from watching the numbers on the monitor.
A break from that heart wrenching moment when I know that I cannot stay any longer, and have to lay my son back in his bed, and go home for the day.
Instead, I slept in, ran errands, ate lunch with my daughter, and did normal, everyday things. It was a pretty boring day, mundane really, and I loved it. And as a bonus, my husband and father-in-law got our daughter's room painted a beautiful, soft, girly pink! It looks fabulous and I can't wait to decorate!
But don't worry, I still checked in on our sweet boy, and he had a good day. Nothing really has changed (other than his weight, 3 lb. 7 oz. YAY!), so we just continue to wait. Although, he is holding his own temperature now, so they can dress him and leave his bed open (he used to be enclosed so that the bed could stay warm in order to keep him warm). So I was very excited to get all his tiny, preemie sized clothes washed and up to the hospital so that he can wear his own clothes now. Because I know he was incredibly concerned about that.
And, I thought I would share some more pictures with you, because I know how much you love to see pictures of my babies. You're welcome.
I am so glad you got to spend the day doing the more mundane things. And I am so thankful for these updates about your precious one! So thankful for his progress!
