So the pediatrician just came by and took him back to the NICU where they’ll do an extensive exam. H is with him. He said he’ll bring him back and it’s just so they can use the resources there to be sure everything is okay with his heart and lungs.

Congratulations! I'm glad he's latching well. Both you and Jack look great. I hope you get to cuddle him soon and he gets the full all clear ASAP.

You guys, this kid is stressing me out. He’s a great eater, latches great, not too lazy. He’s even a pretty good sleeper, but he gags and chokes and puked all the time. H and I are on edge because one of us had to be watching him at all times so we can clear his throat when he can’t breathe. So we take turns being awake, but it’s really hard to sleep sooo.... we did make the decision to send him tot he nursery last night for a couple hours and I feel amazing. A few nurses suggested it and we finally did it, I’m so glad we did.... even though I was woken up twice (once for vitals and the other for Motrin), I feel so rested. Physically I was feeling great until yesterday evening. My pain level went from a 4 to a 9.... I went from taking Motrin and an occasional Norco 5 to Norco 10 every 4 hours and Motrin every 6. I think I over did it yesterday- they had my scheduled discharge date as 11/18 and I want to go home today (the 16th), they’re not crazy about a 2 day stay, but basically gave me an idea of what needed to be accomplished to make it happen. So, now I’m likely going home today, but possible regretting it. We also changed our mind on his name... He is definitely still Jack, but middle name, is ending know. We’re thinking maybe Vincent or Felix (our grandfather’s middle names), but we really have no idea.

It may end up being his name in the end, who knows. We’re also liking Holden and Elliot. H loves Wyatt and I love the name, but not when it rhymes with our last name. lol

Not sure if I responded yet but congrats! How's everything going now? Do you think something like the rock n play would help with the gagging and choking, to keep him on an incline? That sounds super stressful. I hope you are feeling better!

That sounds super stressful. I hope you are feeling better! We have his bassinet raised at one end, but he just sleeps on me most of the time, so it doesn’t matter much. He’s doing better though. I’m wondering if having the tubes down his throat to drain the fluid from his lungs and air from his stomach caused he problems or maybe it was just fluid they never got out. We took him to the doc yesterday and he had gained 7 oz since we left the hospital, which was great because he had lost more than 10% of his birthweight.
