It's Go Time....

That's right, today is the day Zoë comes home !!!!!

We're waiting on the discharge process which should take a couple of hours. Mommy has been with her for most of the day, daddy had a few meetings but managed to figure out the car seat base with Tio Naz. On her last day she had a bath that Mommy gave to her all on her own and she had a play date with a couple of babies in the NICU. We have a bassinet ready that we got from Tia Bere and Tio Rick. Zoë is coming home on oxygen and an apnea monitor, the oxygen is at .2 liters at 100%. The monitor is cool, it is loud, so if she holds her breath for more than 18 secs. the alarm goes off. She's been doing well, hasn't beeped in awhile, she only holds her breath when she's eating, still working on the suck, swallow, breath thing. She has done well with her ad-lib feedings she takes in anywhere from 65-75 cc's per feeding, about 2-2.5 ozs. They did find a bit of reflux between her bladder and kidneys they said that she will eventually out grow it but she is coming home on a few medications. She weighed in at 3085 grams about 6 lbs. 13 ozs. and is about 20.5 inches long, this would have been her birth stats had she gone to term. OK we are ready, I think, the neonatologists just came to give us our discharge papers !!!!!!

Mommy & Daddy I'm ready !!!!
