Tuesday, 9/27

Well, we made it through our first night together! Edison did better than we did. He literally slept from 9 pm until we finally woke him up at 7:30 am. He didn't wake up once. I think he was just in such a deep sleep without the usual lights, bells and whistles of the NICU environment. We, on the other hand, slept fitfully...at best. I think we were both nervous and then Edison is a noisy sleeper! Starting at about 4 am he starts working on his "morning constitutional" and let me tell you, it's quite a production. I finally snuck out at about 5 am to get reassurance from the nurse that this was normal. Martin said he sounded like a constipated Donald Duck! It was so funny.

So, we're getting ready for Thursday! Our equipment should arrive tomorrow and then we'll be all set. I can't believe it's really happening. We have prescriptions and everything! We'll have a nurse come visit on Saturday and then we'll see our pediatrician on Wednesday. Pinch me! If everything goes as planned Michelle will be our nurse on Thursday. It's only fitting she should discharge her "Stinky Dinky".
