What an AMAZING week!!!

We were thrown for a wild weekend and great week last friday, the 12th. I walked into the NICU to both the Baby Doctor and NNP asking if we were ready to room-in that weekend with Caleb. I was flooded with emotion, we were not ready for a baby at home and thought we had a few weeks to go. (just like Calebs entrance into the world, we weren't ready for that either). So the rest of Friday and Saturday was a mad rush on getting the house ready and making sure we had all of the many things for little Caleb at home. Sunday we had a nice morning at home, (again finishing the last few things), and headed out the door around lunch time to go and be with our little man. We made a much needed pit stop by Starbucks for an extra bit of energy. The nurse brought Caleb to our room, things came full circle because the room that we were in was the room that I was in when Caleb was born. (it is one of the nicer, bigger rooms!) The 1st night alone with him, was a little nerve racking. Trying to get use to his noises (we have been told that preemies make a lot more noises that a full-term baby), getting up and feeding him every 3 hours, and then the nurses calling to check in or just stopping in (we have been told by all of the staff that they have faught over him at shift changes). The plan was to room-in for 1 night and then go home on Monday mid-morning. Caleb's nurse came and got him at 4:30am Monday morning to do some final lab work. Around 10am the NNP came in and told us that one of the labs that was done on his liver came back abnormal, and that the Baby Doctor wanted to run some more tests, and they had a Pediactric GI Specialist downtown at the Childrens Hospital looking at the labs and he wanted them to do an Ultrasound and run more labs. So we ended up having to stay another night. The ultrasound came back normal, but the labs were still elvated. But were ok for us to still go home on Tuesday. So Tuesday at 2:30pm we were in the car and on the way home with Caleb. It was great to finally leave the Hospital with Caleb and know that we did not have to go back. Yesterday Caleb had a follow-up Appt with the GI Dr and ended up doing more labs, to help rule out a blockage in the liver. We just got the results and the were still high, so he is being put on 2 medications and he will have to have a HIDA scan on March 1st. Other than the many trips to all the different drs, Caleb has been doing great, a little fussy here and there. But Most nights sleeping 3hours straight, in between feedings. God has blessed us so much with the Little One and we can't wait to see what he has in store for him. Thank you for all of your prayers and support.
