Gibson is one week old today!! The special care nursery had a busy day today. Yesterday morning one little boy went home and then left only Gibson and two others--a pretty typical number of babies for them to have. But then last night 1 new one came and today 3 new babies came (well, 2 that we saw--they were waiting for another one when we left) filling up all 7 beds. Tonight as they were waiting for the last one I would hear them talk about how there was a 34 weeker in labor and then they'd talk about how she was still in labor and then about how she was pushing. It made me really glad to be past the delivery part:). The nursery now is quite different though as it is really loud especially since when babies first arrive lots of visitors arrive as well! I think only one of the new ones was a preemie, so maybe some of them will be leaving soon. For their sake of course and for ours:).
Gibson is still gaining weight and is still off the bili lights. His bili count went up, but not enough to put him back on the lights so they will check his level again tomorrow. He took one feeding in full this morning from a bottle! That was a first. Now he just needs to learn to do that all the time:).
Wearing clothes again...preemie sleepers were too short so he's in newborn with plenty of room to grow into them!
