We're on our 2nd full day at home now and Landon is doing well! He hasn't gotten down good patterns for eating and sleeping quite yet (he was up 4 times last night between 10:30 and 7am- maybe that's normal for a baby but it's a little much for mommy!) but he seems to be taking steps towards 60 ml every 3 hours, which is where they want him.
The home health nurse came yesterday and did an assessment and weighed him (his weight was up, but it's also a different scale than he's been on before, so have to take that into account) and she'll be coming by twice a week for at least a few weeks. He has doctor's appts tomorrow and Friday, so it will be my first time venturing out with him! (Should be interesting)
I'm still getting in a rhythm too of all of his basic needs plus giving him meds (which he hates), checking his SATs a few times a day with our rented pulse ox, and eating and sleeping for me too! Thank goodness my mom (Grandma Harris) has been here to help us get settled. She leaves tomorrow morning early so it will just be me and Landon for a few days and then Gary's mom comes in this weekend for a week.
Today it's snowing here and it was really windy yesterday so I haven't even been able to take him on a walk yet! Hopefully the weather gets better before it gets worse (this is Colorado after all, it could be 75 tomorrow) so we can have some time outside!
As tiring as it is and will continue to be to have Landon's care 100% on us now that we're home, it is such a joy to have our son home! And just in time for his 1 month birthday yesterday!
