Bringing Blake Home

My sweet little Blake came home from the hospital NICU on Sunday May 21st, 9 days after he was born on May 12th. We were beyond excited! He got over his jaundice and returned to his birth weight of 5 lbs 6 oz. His biggest hurdle was learning to suck the bottle and eating enough. Over night he improved immensely and we were shocked that they said he was ready to go home. He seems to be adjusting well, except he gets over stimulated easily and needs breaks from the kids and the noise. And we will be mostly home for a couple months because he has a hard time breathing if in his carseat too long. His first night home last night wasn't great and he was up a lot, but I've never been so glad to be sleep deprived!!!!
