theatokosOk people. If ever the was a time my heart could get broken it's this week.
The doctors are gearing us up for Benn's release later this week. He hasn't had any bradys for a couple of days. His antibiotics will done on Thursday (I hate that he has to have them this early in his life, but it is clearing up his UTI). He has to pass the car seat test and have no more bradys and then..... Thursday or Friday he'll come home. !!! For the next two days I am going to spend 12 hours straight with him "rooming in." This way we can get more acquainted with one another and I can exclusively breast feed. Then, at night the nurses will bottle feed him (breast milk) so that he is fully ready to feed at home. In preparation for that the nurse removed his nasal tube today.
If he doesn't come home this time, I'm not sure I'll be able to withstand this start and stop, almost but not quite, back and forth.
I can't wait to get off hospital time and onto Benn time. I can't wait to take him for walks. To live a normal life with a baby. Sheesh. Let's get this started already!
