Andrew is home...

Sorry guys for not posting earlier. I have had my hands full. But yes Andrew is home. He only had to stay the one night in the NICU and they kicked him out. YEAH!!! We got home Thursday about 11 pm. We got out so late because he had to stay until 9 pm, waiting on the 48 hour culture to come back negative. See I tested positive for the Group B Strep and the antibiotics they gave me didn't fully get in me in by the time he was born. So they were concerned that it would be passed to him. They also thought that might of been why he had some breathing problems. It turned out it was because he was early.

He had to go back to the hospital on Friday for his hearing test. He passed. He also had his first Doctor's appointment on Friday. He did very well with his shot and was maintaining his weight very well. He is a little jaundice but the doctor thinks he will be fine. We go back to the doctor for follow up on Tuesday.

It is so different having a baby in the house again. We are still trying to adjust. Especially the night time. I hope to take Andrew to the cemetery soon to visit his brother Austin. But it is so hot. I talk to Andrew about Austin all the time. We will post some pictures soon so you can see Andrew grow.

Hope ya'll have a great weekend.

Andrew has now been home for a week, I can't wait to see more picture of the little guy and see how much he's changed already! My niece is 3 months old and it's amazing how much they change from day to day in the begining. I hope Andrew gets to visit his big brother soon. Love & miss you Austin!
