Grant is Home!

Grant got to go home Friday evening! He is now staying at home with Dad while I am staying with Ethan. I did go home Friday and stayed and then came back up to UAMS Saturday evening. Grant did so good his first night home! He is on a three hour schedule that the hospital uses, so he didn't cry any except for the dreaded diaper changes when we were getting him ready for feedings! I think he cried less at home than he did at the hospital. Ethan's checks and feedings were 30 minutes before Grant's and it seems he would usually wake up at Ethan's turn and fuss until his turn. Anyway, things seem to be going good for Dad and Grant at home!

I love all the little expressions he makes!
So cute in his brown stripes.
Grant was actually awake to welcome his first visitors

Ethan is still the same as before... we are waiting until Monday or Tuesday to see how the Phenobarbital worked. Hopefully all will be well and he won't be transferred. Since Grant went home and UAMS was expecting triplets any day, Ethan got moved to a new room. He went from the Kangaroo Pouch (mainly for multiples) to the Stork's Nest (mainly for healthier babies!! -I think) His new room is great! Like the other, it is a private room with a sleeper sofa for mom, but this one also has a bathroom for mom, with a shower (but I think the nurse got sidetracked on the way to get towels... sounds like me!). Anyway, Ethan now ways 4 lbs 4 oz (about 1 lb less than Brother) and he got his tube moved from his mouth to his nose today.
I get to see Grant again Tuesday! He has his first pediatrician's visit then. It feels like our first steps of normal (as opposed to NICU) parenthood. I can't wait! Thank you all so much for the prayers... please keep them coming!

Still so tiny! That is the tip of Michael's thumb by his head!
So peaceful (at the moment)! Actually, Ethan is the more laid back of the two, for now.
