Last days in the hospital


Baby is getting ready to go home soon. They took Stuart off his cushy mattress and gave him just a pillow. He was able to bypass the feeding tube (yeah!) and started pedialyte on Saturday night. I was able to feed him his first bottle of that. Then on Monday afternoon they let me actually nurse him for his afternoon feed.

The last night in the hospital. Baby Stuart is tolerating my pumped breastmilk and gaining weight so he can be discharged now. They moved him to a new room and then I stayed the night with him. We practiced nursing all night to the tune of the 'beeps' and 'dings' of his monitor. Stuart was discharged Thursday afternnon, July 5 nine days after birth. We feel so blessed that he could come home and be with us.
