First Family "Selfie"
I've "moved in" to the NICU and am spending nights here now, too. (I'll go home each week at least a night to do laundry and pack more clothes which I'm doing tonight.) Last night we had our first whole family sleepover - Matthew stayed the night, too. Although I don't sleep much between the monitors, the cares every few hours and now bottle feeds, it's the best reason to lose sleep. When you have to wait 50 days to feed your own baby, there's something magical about waking up at 3 am to give a bottle!
Our growing boy is up to 4 pounds, 2 ounces, has had his 2 month immunizations (equally painful for mom as for Wyatt!) and is still bottle feeding about every other feed. He is down to 1 liter of room air, getting closer all the time to no oxygen support at all!
