Jackson was finally able to come home with us on 9/19/2012. The hospital had us nest with him the night before. They set us up in a small room and wheeled his crib into the room and unhooked all the monitors. The nurses came in every 3 hours to take vitals, but the feeds and everything else was up to us. I was so nervous to have him unhooked from the monitor, because I had started to depend on the monitors to tell me if he had shallow breathing or his heart rate dropped. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep that night, because I was constantly checking him to make sure everything was ok. Dad came along to nest too, but since he thought he was going to work in the morning, he pretty much slept the whole night. The next day we were free, but it was really hard to leave Reagan behind at the hospital. They assured us it wouldn't be too much longer before she would be discharged as well, so that made us feel better.
Jackson has done really well at home. He is such a good baby and hardly ever cries. I know this will change once his sister comes home, so I am enjoying my time with one baby for this short time. He is gaining weight like crazy and as of 9/25/2012 he weighs a whopping 7 lbs!! He has come a long way from the 3 lb 6 oz that he weighed at birth. I am so in love with my little man.
