While P starts her NICU stay, I think we are breaking free! I've never taken A more than 3 feet from his bed, so it'll feel weird. I'm so excited and really hoping it all goes according to plan. Good luck today, hope A gets to go home! ETA just saw the update: sorry it's not going according to plan. He's a strong little guy, he should be out of there soon. Are you doing okay?

That's beautiful dapostrophe! Maybe after you head home, you can share where you were and where you visited? Don't want to triangulate while you're still there! It's ok, we are in Door County. It's that little peninsula off of WI that pokes out into Lake Michigan. The photos were taken out on Cave Point. I'll share a couple more when we get back!

Whoa, congratulations, cagoldi! I step away for a few days, and the whole operation goes to pieces... She is adorable! S delivered at roughly the same gestational age. She had trouble breathing, but thankfully that was short-lived, and then we just waited until she figured out how to eat. So, two weeks total, but they were pretty low key by NICU standards. Her milestones for going home were probably similar to what P's will be--back to birth weight, breathing fine on her own, and taking 24 hours of feedings with no tube assist. It's good to know what to look for because they measure these things in milestones, not time. Yes, this is great to know. Thank you! Random: My anesthesiologist has the same LN as you.

My husband has a cousin that owns a music store in Door County. I’m not sure what it’s called though. ETA: after googling I think it’s Robin Jay Music & Gifts

FX for a smooth procedure today, lfig. I can't recall if this is outpatient? Good luck with surgery this morning, @73jewels. Hope you and B are home resting comfortably before very long.

They are legitimately trying to starve me, I think.
After labor they brought me a turkey sandwich...

Bummer wineallthetime. I guess it's better to have to wait to leave and know he's in the clear, than to leave and have to come back for some reason. FX he's ready soon!

Bummed, but reminding myself that he's still doing well and we'll be home before too long.

It’s inpatient. Just 1 night hopefully. I’m waiting to get checked in now. Thanks for the good thoughts everyone! I’m not nervous for the surgery .... but nervous for after. Pain and liquid diet scare me. Lol.

There's a new tamale place by our house. The regular vegetable ones were really dry. I'm eating some mushroom tamales for breakfast and they're so much better. This place has really good hot sauce, too.
Live blogging breakfast.

They're going to do a sepsis workup on A to rule out infection. Additional blood work and a lumbar puncture. Excuse me while I go sob They're going to start him on antibiotics as a prevention until they rule some stuff out.

Oh wineallthetime, I’m sorry. You must be a ball of nerves. I hope everything comes back ok. Your little guy is a fighter. I know he’ll bounce back like a champ. Hugs, mama.

I'm sorry wineallthetime. I hope it's just for precaution and everything ends up okay. Good luck today jewels and lfig! Dang cagoldi. Do they not understand a turkey is an animal? Are there are vegan take-out places nearby that can deliver you some good food? You need fuel for your body to recover because labor is a major workout!

It's basically a game at this point. Pete is going to stay with me all day so he's going to make a trip out to grab me stuff.

Before I left for work this morning I told J that she needs to have her listening ears on at daycare, she pointed to her ears and did her whole body nod of 'yes'.
I just about rolled over and died of cuteness.

Are there are vegan take-out places nearby that can deliver you some good food? You need fuel for your body to recover because labor is a major workout! My favorite restaurant, and another one I like well, plus a healthfood store with a deli that has vegan stuff is all within a 10 minute drive. So thankfully I have good options, even if it means Pete has to drive around a bit.
