Baby Emmett, NICU

NICU day 97

We’re still here. We got news this morning that they would like to keep us another day to make sure we are set up for success on the eating front. But we were told if things went well today we could go home tomorrow! E had good feed volumes today, and I spent all day frantically tying up loose ends with work. I got to the bottom of my inbox and conquered my to-do list, checking off what I could, delegating what I couldn’t, and creating a comprehensive hand-off sheet for the contractor we’re bringing in to fill in for me. I also spent all evening doing laundry, cleaning and getting the house ready. After feeling a little panicked yesterday, like I had too much left to do, I actually feel really prepared now.

And then D texted me from the hospital tonight and said E lost 22 grams at his weight check.

Eff. We won’t get the official word from the doctor until tomorrow morning, but I have a feeling they’re going to keep us another day.

Come on…

Milk drunk.

  1. I’m so happy for you! I’m sure it’s been a long hard journey, one you will not miss but remember. Great job on the being prepared, I didn’t do so well with that. Cross our fingers that your baby will go home. 🙂
