I'm (NOT) ready!!

Do you like this outfit?
this one?
or this one?

Yikes...where do I start? I haven't updated the blog for a couple of days b/c I've been so busy with school and my exhaustion is not leaving me with any time to do anything! Jacob has been doing okay. We are learning that he is not quite ready to come home. He has been desatting a few times during feeding; requiring blow-bys (oxygen). This happened last Thursday and today. As a matter of fact, he had an A and B today when I was holding him. I notice his color change and started to stimulate him. Before I knew it, the machine began to go off. It was kind of sad, but again, it's his way of letting us know that he's not ready. It's good b/c I would be scared to death if that were to happen at home!

Nurse Sharon is absoultely great! She goes the extra mile with Jacob and with us too! She placed his crib flat (he's going to have to sleep flat on his back when he comes home) and he didn't respond very well. Again, his signal of saying..."I'm not ready!" We also planned on watching the CPR video (required before hospital discharge) this evening, but his machine kept alarming and we had to pause several times resulting in not watching at all. THEN...our plan was to give him a bath, but his temperature was low...so, we didn't do that either. Our visit ended with his A and B. Poor little guy...but, I think it was harder for us than it was for him! Jeremiah and I felt so stressed out!

Tomorrow, Jacob will get a head ultrasound so please pray for him! He will also get an eye exam this week...a possible blood transfusion tomorrow.
