Pierson is home!

Baby Pierson came home Monday afternoon and is doing great! Last week they let me start trying to nurse under close supervision. So Sunday I was told that I could have a room and spend the night to work with him on nursing. I don't think nursing is going to happen, but he is doing great with his bottles of thickened milk. I didn't get much sleep between all the noises he makes, the monitors, eating every 3 hours, pumping, etc. Monday morning the nurse practitioner came in and said he looked good, is doing well with bottles and hasn't had any spells so she was ready to send him home that afternoon after a car seat study (sitting in the car seat a couple hours with monitors to make sure they tolerate it ok). They asked if I had a car seat in the car. I said I didn't but would be back after I ran and bought one at Toys R Us. Chris and Bailey went back with me at 3 and he passed his car seat study and hearing screen. He is home and doing wonderful! I am not getting much sleep, but hey, I can sleep when I'm dead as my husband likes to say.

Yesterday he weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces. He is getting chubby and cute! We are throwing a welcome home party for him next Thursday at our house from 2-6 pm. It is an open house and the pool will be open for everyone who wants to come swim with their families. We'd love to have you come celebrate his safe and final arrival home!!!
