Alex has been given permission to sleep for four hours at a time now. You didn’t know he needed permission, did you? They were waking him up every three hours to eat. But he’s been eating and sleeping so well, the doctor changed the order to let him sleep longer if he’s out. And he’s definitely out!
Basically this is what he’d be doing if he were home as a newborn. We’d probably be feeding him every four hours. Of course, it’s usually the baby that tells you it’s time to eat, as opposed to us waking them up!
The current nurse seems to think Friday or Saturday is when he’ll come home. She said that she think we should plan on Saturday. But we’ll see… those nurses are a lot more optimistic than the doctors, it’s seems. Then again, I think the doctors are playing a joke on people. They tend to say “Oh, you can plan on going home Sunday.” Then all of a sudden on Friday they tell you it’s time to go. And then you have to scramble to get out of the hospital and then quick run and get the things you still need for at home. I suppose the insurance companies have something to do with that too.
Kathie seems to be doing much better today and her pain isn’t as bad. She even changed a diaper today! I think that leaves the score at 25-1, Scott. But if you factor in that whole 8 months of pregnancy, I’m losing by about a gazillion points.
