Monkey without any tubes YEAH!!I am sure everyone has noticed that I have stopped tracking Trey's daily weight. I am still "weight obsessed" but he is constantly gaining and now that the NG tube, Oxygen and IV's are all out and he is over 6bls it doesn't seem like such a big deal. To be honest, FINALLY the days are becoming very boring at the NICU...
So far this is the hardest part of our NICU journey. The wait...Just waiting for the day when they tell us he can come home. I know it is so very close...Some nights I can hardly sleep. I wake up to pump around 3am and since last week it takes me until 5 or so fall asleep again. When I wake up I day dream ( or night dream LOL) about what it will be like to get up to feed him and not just pump. Sometimes, I can still smell him on my skin and think about wonderful it will be to be woken up at 3am to feed him. It's funny how some parents dread the night feeding but I can't wait. Even when he is crying it doesn't bother me, I enjoy every minute of it...every dirty diaper, hiccups, the several times he has spit up and it has gone directly down my shirt, watching him smile. Every moment with my precious baby boy seems more and more special and I can't wait to start a routine at home with him.
So, here are some recent pictures of Trey,
Soon as I hold him he always falls asleep.
A day or so before the other photos, he still has the NG tube in, still loves his swing!
