Lillie's big day...

I went to Lillie's 2:30 feeding after work. Draven got out of school early so we made it just in time. As you know, she has been starving! The day nurse told me she was going to try to get the doctor to let her eat more. When I showed up the doctor had her on 42 cc's plus she got a 20cc snack and... she can breastfeed as much as she wants!

Big day!!!

Then she informed me that even though she hasn't made it to her weight gain, she can move into a crib!!! She had maintained her temperature for the past few days so they let her move in to a big girl bed. I went up there at 5:30 to check on her and breast feed. She was doing so well. They kept her incubator hooked up just in case, but when I came in this morning they said they moved it because she doesn't need it.

Just keeps getting better!!!

This morning I got a phone call from the NICU. The nurse said bring her car seat up today because she will be going home any day. I also had to get her a doctor's appointment scheduled for next week. I ran up to the hospital and they said they couldn't wait for me to do the discharge class on Monday. I needed to do it today! She also said that when she makes her weight requirement (hopefully in the next day or two) they will schedule our room in. Right now, they plan on us rooming in with Lillie at the hospital on Sunday night. Chris and I will take care of her like if we were home, but the doctors and nurses check in on us. Monday morning we take her home! She lost a little weight last night, but we hope to see her gain over the next few days. The breast feeding burns calories. She has tonights weighing and tomorrows. They said she will be ready for the room in as early as Saturday night or no later than Sunday night. Better be Sunday. Chris and I planned a last date night before she comes home. We are going to Le Cep's in Edmond for dinner then to a movie. It will be the last time we go out together for a long time.

It is now Friday at 3pm. Draven and I are at home and will go back up to the hospital in about an hour. We want to see how she does on her carseat challenge. I will let everyone know what happens...
