After 76 days in the NICU, Henry came home. He weighs 6 lbs 11 oz and is 18.5 inches long and is no longer needing oxygen or a feeding tube. It was such an amazing feeling to bring our son home and we couldn't have planned it better. It was fathers day and Henry saved me because I didn't have a card or anything for Alan. It was better than anything I could have bought though.
When you have a baby in the NICU they encourage you to pick a primary nurse or two. Andrea and Denise are the nurses we picked for Henry and they did such an amazing job taking care of our baby. The day we left Denise was taking care of Henry and she got quite emotional when we left. It is such a comfort knowing that the people who take care of the babies truely care about them.
This is the sign as you walk towards the NICU.
Henry all ready to go in his car seat. I really didn't think I would get emotional leaving the hospital with Henry, but I have gained relationships with a lot of the nurses, and other parents with children in the NICU. I also realize how blessed I am to have such a healthy baby and that nothing seriously went wrong with him. Thank you everyone for all the love and support. Please feel free to keep checking our blog to watch our little man grow.
