...just kidding. Jack and I are snowed in at Children's. We did however get to take a stroll and venture out off of the 8th floor. We went down to the lobby and got a coffee, checked out the fish tank, Seacrest Studios and the gift shop windows (it was closed). After making lots of friends and getting lots of comments about how handsome he is, we came back up to nurse and settle back in.
We facetimed with Daddy and he was WIDE awake. I think he loved it, because he was just staring at Jeremy the whole time-- it was easily my favorite part of the day!
Today we spent the day eating and pumping and getting weighed. He needs to show he can gain weight before we leave. Which is a little confusing.. because the way they determine if the lasiks is working and getting rid of fluid is by him losing weight. They just want him to be above his birth weight, and he is at the moment. So hopefully he continues to be a champion eater. His nurse told me that the fact he is can suck and swallow and go between the breast and bottle so easily is amazing-- there are cardiac kids that go months not being able to do what he does. So tonite, his fantastic night nurse Lauren (he just adores her and she him) is going to give him bottles to make sure he is taking in enough so we can keep up his super star feeding status.
Please keep your fingers, toes and eyes crossed that tomorrow's the day we get to go home!!! We are SO ready. And we need to get ready for our big super bowl party!!!!! :) :) He is ready to get dressed up in his patriots gear and watch Tom & company bring us home that Lombardi trophy!!!!!
