Keira’s Coming Home!!!
July 30, 2008
We were told yesterday that they plan to send Keira home Thursday morning (tomorrow). We brought in her carseat so they can do the carseat test. They put her in it for an hour and she is on an oxygen monitor to make sure she can breathe properly while in the seat. We are ready for her to come home. Shaun is so excited to have her here. I am too but I am nervous. I know I wont sleep the first night she is home b/c I’ll be so worried that she wont breathe right!
Conor had his surgery on Wed and it went well. The hernia was very large so he is going to be sore for a bit. Good thing he wont remember this! I fed him a bottle yesterday and he did amazing. I have never seen him take a bottle w/out some reflex so this surgery is definitly making life better for him. I expect that he will be home late next week. It will be so nice to not have to go to the hospital!!

So exciting for you to have at least one baby home. It will give you a chance to get use to one before you are thrown into to. I don’t know if anyone has suggusted it to you, but there are these monitors called Angle Care. they are a mat that slips under the mattress and senses movement, like breathing. If for some reason the baby does stop breathing the monitor alarms. It is loud, trust me you will hear it. With both girls tummy sleepers I was able to sleep knowing that if they did stop breathing within seconds I would be notified. I know Walmart sells them for just over $100. Anything to help the sleep along I say.
