Yes, we're going home today. Don't know when. Kickout time is technically 11AM, but that's not a hard and fast rule here. We're hoping to dawdle long enough that we can stick around for a 5:00 breast feeding clinic (he's getting the hang of it, better every time, but the more help we can get while we're here the better).

He's been on a pretty regular schedule. Wake up and work on feeding for an hour or so, change a diaper, then back to sleep for 3 hours. This morning's brought the new development that after feeding he spends some time awake, alert, and looking around instead of just passing back out. Late last night, he took a two hour nap on my chest, I swear I'm tearing up just thinking about it. It's indescribable.

Mom's pretending to be a real human being for a moment and has left the room to take a walk around the hospital.

Now we begin the scramble to get what we can in order before heading home where the real fun begins!
