Yesterday, we got the big news that Lexie might be able to go home today. What?! Today, you say?! Holy crap, we need to run out of here and clean up the house, finish putting together the bassinet, clean off the changing table, install the carseat, and omygod what else...
Today, Steve and I headed in there, Lexie's "going home" outfit and carseat in hand, nervous and excited to bring our girl home. But Lexie had other plans, spending the day sleeping almost nonstop, barely waking up to eat. And she didn't eat enough to get the OK to leave.
On the bright side, she passed her "car seat challenge."
We suspect the sleepiness was due to her Synagis shot last night. It's not a scientifically known side effect, but all babies are different, and *something* was causing her to be out of it.
Hopefully tomorrow will be the big day. Fingers crossed. In the meantime, Steve and I went out to dinner. It might be a while before we can do that again.

Oh, how exciting!!! I really hope she can come home tomorrow.
I'll bet she was just so excited about the idea of going home with you guys that she stayed up too late the night before with butterflies in her stomach, and that's why she was so tired yesterday. ;-)
How very exciting! Hope that tomorrow is indeed the "big day."
Hugs!
Wow! That is glorious news. Congratulations.

Lexie, we are "pumped" for you!
Congratulations! I need to go back and get caught up and I did a bit, but need more time to get the whole story.
My son was born at 30 weeks, 1 day. He is now 4 1/2 year old and doing wonderfully. I know that the road you are on his hard, if you have questions...please let me know.
