Home tomorrow? Maybe?

Well we were hoping that we would be able to go home today but we were thrown a curveball - James didn't gain any weight last night. It's amazing since he is drinking anywhere from 20-40 milliliters more than his required amount. At least we are learning a lot while we are here.

The good news is that his bilirubin levels seem to have gone down further so the bililights are off right now. Hopefully his levels will be okay tomorrow so that we can go home. His little goggles are gone and later the nurses will remove the special lights and blanket and take off the tape from his face. I'd remove the tape myself if I knew it wasn't going to hurt the little guy but it's on there pretty well and it's even in his hair so I'd rather the nurses be the bad guys. :)

This will be the first time that I get to see James without tape on his face other then when he was first born! I can't wait. I've gotten used to seeing my baby with wires and wrapping and tape all over him. Once the tape is removed I'll take some more photos and post them up.

Well both of the men in my life are asleep and the room is nice and quiet. I'm going to take advantage of this time and take a nap myself!
