Coming Home!

Its official! Our little man is coming home tomorrow night! That is Tuesday December 16th.
(a bit of a birthday present for my sister Sarah!)
We are very excited as you can imagine! We've been waiting for this day and its been a long time coming - it always seemed to be just out of reach, but now its here.

I'll spend the entire day tomorrow, or as much as I feel I need to, with him at the hospital doing everything for him. At this time Chris and I already manage much of what Jordan needs. 
  • His baths
  • His changes
  • His feeds
So it will just be one last day with nurses around to help me should I need it. Or to give me last minute advice. Taking a pre-term baby home is a little different than a full term where feeding is concerned. At this time we're fully bottle feeding him and teaching him to nurse... it'll come, but slower.

Other than that we're all set!

We have decided (or I've finally relented) that Jordan probably needs his full head shaved. The hair is just too patch work looking. I hate to do it but its just too messy to grow out.

Here's Jordan with Daddy showing us how ready he is to be home for Christmas! YAY!

Cindy and Chris, I am so very happy for you to be bringing Jordan home. Hmmm, don't think I'd like to see him in a mohawk. I've seen other babies with "different" hairdos and it makes them unique. Hope all goes well with you. It will be hard work but I know you are both up to it and the nursing will come. Have a great homecoming and hope to meet up with the little guy again in the near future. Take care. Love and hugs and kisses.
