We were hoping to be discharged earlier around 11 or noon, but our "MR Big" (Andy's assigned this nickname) is having some trouble keeping his blood sugar level high enough. It's normal for big babies but they still have to be monitored. So we're having to do some tedious blood testing and making sure he's eating enough to get his level up. There's still a chance we could go home by 6 tonight, but that's only if his levels get way up. We'll go see his real pediatrician tomorrow so she can check his blood sugar and jaundice levels that are slightly off. MR is being very patient and going with the flow so far! Andy and I are just ready to sleep in a normal bed and get normal showers.
As far as the juggling goes...Annie (Nina) is at home with Drewsky. We haven't gotten to see him today because he is recovering from some little temporary virus he had last night. Evidently he was exploding from both ends! We miss him, but he never has a problem hanging out with Annie.
It's sort of a blessing that we're having to stay longer since MR shouldn't really be around Drew for now. We'll get it all under control soon...just in time for Andy to leave on a work trip for two weeks...to Brazil!!!!!!
Everytime we look at MR he looks more and more like Drew did when he was born. It's crazy!
