Wireless!
Completely wireless! here are Noah and Danica on their way down to have their pictures taken.
It's Official!!
We are going to be going home today! Not sure what time yet, as we still need to get Noah's pictures taken and his circumcision, and Danica has a checkup at 3:15, but tonight we sleep (or more accurately don't sleep) in our own beds!!

Sign at school
When I went in to school today, this was on the wall outside my office. I thought it was so cute, I had to share it. Thanks AGWSR Middle School!
Tomorrow?
Well, they started giving us some forms for photos, and for a hepatitis shot, so it almost looks like they are planning on a tomorrow release. They haven't come out and said anything, but it looks possible!
At least one more day...
The doctor was just in, and said that she would like to see him eating 2 oz. at each feeding, so she would see where he was at tomorrow. Right now he is eating right at 1.5 oz or so. It is odd that they have that requirement, because Dani was only eating about 1 - 1.25 oz when she was released. She is just now getting up to 1.75 to 2 oz at a time. I guess though he is considerably bigger, so I suppose he should be eating more.
Fun night :-)
Somehow, we managed to get Noah and Danica's feeding schedule staggered by two hours, exactly the opposite of what we wanted. So, last night was spent trying to get them to eat at about the same time. Noah's schedule is pretty rigid, as he is under the hospitals authority. So, we had to somehow adjust Danica's feeding time by two hours without starving her or getting her thrown off schedule with what the hospital calls "snacking". I think we were able to do it, with minimal sleep until 4 or so. I think we succeeded, because at 8:30 this morning, we were each feeding one at the same time.

No real news...
Noah might get released tomorrow, he might not. If I were a betting man, I would probably lean more towards Tuesday at this point. There are a few tests yet he needs to have before he can leave, and they haven't said anything about any of them yet. He also needs to get his pictures taken, car seat assessment, circumcision, hepatitis shot, and some other stuff that they haven't brought up yet either. This makes me think that tomorrow isn't going to be the day. Honestly, I don't want them sending him home until he is 100% ready to go home - and if that means he is here an another day or two, then that is what needs to happen. He is eating good at this point - their goal was to get him to eat 1.5 oz. at one time so he can make it four hours between feedings, and he is doing good with that so far.
IV is out!
They just pulled out Noah's IV, so he is completely independent! Only monitor wires left!
