More than one nurse called Patrick that today. He's had a few alarms go off, but they were all misreads by the sensors. He's taking his feedings, he's pooping, he's sleeping. Everything he's supposed to be doing. Tonight he was up to 3 lbs 1 oz! If we do an ounce a day, the doctor will be happy. In fact, on the daily charts, there's a section for the day's goals -- Patrick's only goal today was to gain weight!
We did try to see if he would figure out the breast feeding motions, but he was way too sleepy to even try today. Another time! He's still on the early side for all of that.
I don't know, there's not a whole lot else to say! Jon's working hard on getting the house ready for Patrick to come home. Tonight we were able to go over and meet Ava and Lydia. Lots of familiar things over there, from both Will and Patrick. But it sounds like everything is going about the same track as Patrick's.
When Will was in the hospital, his neighbor was Reece. We sort of got to know Reece's mom, and today they were all up at the hospital. Kristen stopped by while I was at lunch and left some really cute outfits for when Patrick is bigger, and I actually ran into her as I was coming back from lunch! Going through the NICU is such a strange experience, and it's good to have people around who know what's going on. I'm glad that things are going well for Reece, and we'll hear plenty about Lydia and Ava.
I think it gets later every time I'm able to post something! Thanks for checking in!
