He's Home

Going Home Outfit

Leaving the NICU

Home!


First feeding at home

In his swing

Nicholas made it home! It has been an exciting day and so far so good. He spent 163 days in the hospital and gained 9 pounds and grew 7 inches. We have done 2 feedings and already had to change his outfit because he sit up. He loves his swing. The animals have been good. Jasper watches him and is curious but very gentle. Bella has already given him tons of kisses on his feet. She is a little hyper right now but hopefully she gets used to him soon. Sydney, Zorro and Zoe are not very interested. Our monitor went off once because his lead came off but he has been fine. We have our first appointment with the pediatrician tomorrow morning.
