I apologize for another post with no photos. To me that's the best part! We keep meaning to, especially since their ng tubes are out, but manage to forget during their care times.
They are keeping g for another day. Really no reason except that it will be easier for us. He passed his hearing test today. However he failed the car seat test. The NP said he had the most terrified look on his face during it. All it entails is sitting in the seat for two hours without his heart rate dropping. Failing doesn't keep him here, he can get a car bed (a car seat that let's them lay flat).
I'm going to side track... So I started to post a picture of the carseat bed. I went to Google to grab a pic, first one had a tiny doll in it and looked silly. So I picked one with a cute baby...
Then, I notice the website it came from and its my friend Marisa who had twin boys almost two years ago! So Marisa be reassured I find j very cute, so much so I am featuring him here. :) I can't believe how little he was.
Back to the boys, the NP figured since he didn't pass the test no rush to kick him out. Plus she knows we are staying at Ronald McDonald's house and there's extra germs here, no reason to expose him to that.
They will do a car bed study on him tomorrow and most likely discharge him in the evening. He'll have to ride in it for about six weeks then do another study to see if he is ready for an infant seat.
For c, it mostly will depend on the NP and Dr working that day. The NP today made it sound like if they gave the caffeine pill right after midnight that she would let him leave late the day before his exit date. They were going to look at what time it was given, but they never got back to us on it. So we are looking at late Saturday to late sunday. We are going to figure out tomorrow. I believe c got the dose on early Sunday morning (june 2) based on everything I can remember. So fingers crossed we can leave sat night.
Fun story of the day- I (Kim) was changing c, and I got everything ready so the diaper was open for as little as possible to avoid being peed on. I put vaseline on a gauze to cover his circumcision (so it doesn't stick to the diaper) then I started to open the diaper... I realized that maybe I'll close the tube of baseline first. So I loosely close the diaper, start to screw the cap on the vaseline, but manage to get the vaseline, I was about to use, all over the tube. So I clean it up... The power goes out... Once restore, I get another gauze ready as I'm doing that, c let's out the largest poop ever. It was so loud that the nurse heard it three bedsides away. Let's say I'm so glad I made all those errors cause I feel like my luck would have been that happening with his diaper open and the power out...
To continue talking about his habits, I got lucky and the next care time I changed him and I got the new diaper on, he poops again. So I had to change him again. Apparently the kid loves having me change him....
Ok, maybe that story wasn't so fun, but that's the exciting things that happen to us.
P.S. Marisa thanks for letting me steal your idea of using a blog to keep in touch with everyone. Our families are so grateful. And let J know that I can hold him now, Anne won't take him away from me anymore :)
