48 Hours

Day 2 was pretty good. Fletcher was up and about early this morning for his feedings. He has some serious gas pains which makes him scream quite loud – and we do everything possible to get him comfortable. At least we know what it means, but it takes some time to get him settled back into a calm mode – hopefully we can get a technique down that will lessen the gas pains.

Libby has done extremely well; even the doctors are amazed at her quick recovery. She is also passing a lot of gas ;-) Today she was wearing a little bling, as the pictures show. Finally, the person who shared the room with her was discharged, only after snoring all night long. The nurses had to issue ear-plugs to Libby just to try and help dampen the noise this woman was making. And Libby thought I snored loudly (I do admit, this other woman outweighed me by at least 50 lbs).

Again, all the staff at the hospital has been great – and the doctors are ready to let her go tomorrow. So, sometime around 11:00, both Libby and Fletcher will be coming home. I installed the car seat carrier this evening (took an infant CPR class last night) and I think we are all ready for his big arrival. Although, I think I will miss eating the hospital food.
