Baby Matthew is one month old! He weighs 7 pounds and 9 ounces. He is a very alert little guy who loves to socialize. In fact, he would rather look all around instead of drinking a bottle. He loves his mobile in his crib and likes to be held and snuggled. It is easy to get sucked in to his big dark eyes!
We have some BIG news: We are going HOME this week! All of the details are still being worked out, but the doctors decided that he does not need to be in a hospital, and we can bring him home. He will still have a feeding tube and probably oxygen, but we are up for the challenge of those extras if it means we get to be at home. We will know much more on Monday morning after rounds with his whole team. We could not possibly be more excited to get Matthew home where we can all be together as a family of seven!
Matthew's one month photo shoot was very brief because of the hospital setting and the extra accessories on his face. He does not find the hospital chair to be very comfortable, and the extra cords and wires were getting in the way. I will do a much better one once we are home- it will be a few days late, but I think it will be worth the delay. I can't wait to get pictures of him not in a hospital!
It is still a bit surreal, and I don't know that I will believe it until we walk out the hospital doors. We have finally made it to the home stretch, and we will be home in a matter of days! We are so proud of this little man and all he has been through in his first month of life.
