Quick update

Sorry for choppy language and editing. I'm going on minimal sleep rightnow!!
e are doing pretty well...waiting for Babyboy (names still TBD) to poop - he's feeding well, his stomach isn't distended, but he should've had some meconium pass by now. He'll see the pediatrician in a bit. if he does poop, and passes his preemie car seat screen (to make sure his oxygen levels don't drop if he's in the seat for 60 min plus) then we may be going home tonight. There's a nurses one day walkout here tomorrow so our nurse has warned us It might be a crappy day to be here if we don't have to be. We qualify for home health visits so we'll have a nurse come to our house on probably Friday and Monday to make sure he's still doing well.

I'm so ridiculously in love with him. He's got Otis's lips and nose but is blonder and obviously tinier.

I can't quite figure out how to post a pic but am going to try to do it remotely in a sec.

A Request for My Readers

If you know me "In Real Life" (or some semblance thereof) I ask you to remember a few things as you read through this blog --

This is a snapshot, thoughts, stream of consciousness from one moment in my day. It's not the complete picture. If you want to know how I'm doing, ask me. Please don't assume you know everything because you're reading along here.

I ask that if you're here, and I know you in real life, you let me know that you're reading along. I want to have my blog available to read to anyone who may find themselves in my shoes, or anyone who may find comfort here anonymously; and yet, it makes me scared to think of my friends or family or casual acquaintances "spying" on me here. I don't want to make this place a permissions only entry. I thank you for your respect in allowing me to keep this place open for others to read. This is always subject to change.

If you've found yourself here because you too are facing the path of having lost a child, having lost the very ground you took for granted in standing upon, I am so sorry that you're here. I hope that reading my words is somehow helpful in your journey, as the words of so many who walk a similar path have been a lifeline for me.
