Last Day at the Hospital

Well, we've made it to our last day in the hospital. Yesterday (Friday) was very eventful. Blood tests and 'snip-snip' and visitors. Jack also had to go "under the lights." Like a good portion of babies, he was a bit jaundiced, so they put him under the bili-lights. The doctor's goal was to not have us take home a bili-blanket. I'm pretty sure we're going to hit that goal and should find out in the next hour or so. With his lights, his crib was described as a tanning bed or his first disco party. But he has been so good and content most of the time and the nurses have been very impressed with our little guy - let's hope that lasts.

He's doing much better at feeding and Stacey is feeling better and continues to become more and more mobile. We are pretty excited to get home, to dress him in an outfit and let him swing and things like that. And to sleep in our own bed (even if its only for two hours at a time). Now we are just waiting for Stacey's doctor and Jack's doctor to do final evaluations and then we'll be heading home, sometime midday.

Okay, Get Excited!!!

Welp, we are at the hospital!!!

Stacey's water broke this morning around 10. She was at work, in the midst of a conversation. I, too, was at work in Indy. She called saying, "My water broke. It feels gross. I am going home to get stuff and then heading to the hospital."

So, I truly got to live the experience of the mad-dash drive up from Indy. We won't say specific speeds or times, suffice it to say that I made it in record time. And I didn't miss a thing.

Her doctor at the Voss Center checked her: as of 11:15am she was 3cm dilated and 90% effaced (for those of you who know what those things mean).

And now we are all cozy, watching Olympics and blogging.

We'll keep you posted.
Here we go!!!!
