Not ready yet

Well thanks to an eye exam which had excellent results Truman wasn't quite ready to come home this weekend like we had hoped. Eye exams really wear Truman and most preemies out, not to mention how well he ate the night before... Anyway because he was so tired after we are now working on being able to eat full feelings again, he does it part of the time it's just lots of work remembering to suck swallow and breathe all at the same time. He is such a good baby and we are so proud of him and his progress. The NICU is hopeful that it will be this week and his daddy and I are so ready! At this point it's all up to him and when he decides to take off. I think we are going to room in with him (stay at the hospital for at least 24 hrs) because he eats better for his dad and me then he does the nurses, and see if that helps him get home but again it's up to him. Rooming in is kinda cool the have a room for you and the baby and they basically leave you alone unless you need them. Lots of parent use it as a trial run if their baby is going home on oxygen or other medical equipment, so that they can be confident when they get home to care for their little one. Logan and I love Truman so much and can't wait for him to come home and see his room and all his cool toys... We are so ready for some normalcy even if we will miss our NICU friends!
