We got home two days ago. Because Taylor is small, the hospital had to do something called a carseat test. In the NICU they put him in his carseat and put monitors on him and monitored him for an hour. They made sure his oxygen levels stayed up and his pulse was ok. Small babies don't always fit in carseats well and they will have you buy a new carseat or stay in the hospital for a few more days until the baby can fit in the carseat. So anyway, it was a big deal and he PASSED! We were so glad we got to take him home.
We had to have Taylor weighed yesterday and he gained a 1/2 ounce since leaving the hospital! So he is now 5lbs 10.5 ounces. He is doing so good. And is such a good baby. He loves to watch his brothers and sister. He also loves it when they hold him. The kids are so happy we are home and they can't get enough of him. He is so much fun!
I am doing OK Still recovering from the C-section. And my blood pressure is still high. 140 over 90 but it was 180 over 105! But they finally got the right combo of medicine to bring it down and let me come home. The doctor is hopeful that in the next couple of weeks my blood pressure will calm down and I can go off all the meds. This is all the result of the preclampysia.
We again are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for Taylor's safe arrival. It's hard to imagine him not being in our lives. He is just the perfect fit to our family puzzle.
Let's go home!
