Keeping our fingers crossed

We are still not sure what day Grace will be coming home. The cardiologist was ready to ship her out the door on friday; however, the neonatologist wanted to watch her oxygen saturation levels over the weekend. So far she has still been doing well. When we were at the hospital today, her levels were a little lower than they had been again and she was given a higher level of oxygen through her nasal canula. We are hoping that she continues to do well so that we can take her home.

The good thing is that the hospital really wants to make sure she is doing well before they let her leave. There are still so many things that have to be set up before she comes home. We have to have the oxygen and monitors sent and set up at the house, she has to pass a "car seat challenge" at the hospital, she needs her pictures taken, we have to be trained on how to use all of her monitors and oxygen and I am sure there is even more that I do not know about. All of these activities will not begin until tomorrow, so it will be a busy week for us.

The good news is I am no longer restricted from driving--after my c-section. Although it is nice to be driven around, I really missed not being able to go somewhere whenever I wanted. I also have been able to start picking Gavin up again too!! He is such a big boy!! We have been digging out all of the baby odds and ends from Gavin for Grace to enjoy. I am just so thrilled to have her coming home...It is hard to believe that she is almost 3-weeks old already...and she has never even come home yet:)
