Surprise for Mommy!


Notice anything different?

So we've been waiting patiently for the day they would move Chase to a crib. We knew it could be any day now since he'd been maintaining his body temperature while on the lowest setting in the isolette.

Jas had off today so I got the usual rounds update from him. Chase now weighs
3 lbs. 3 oz. and he is going to continue to get lasix every other day since his chest x-ray is still pretty hazy. I asked if he'd heard anything about the little man being moved to a crib and he said he'd try to find out. He sent me a message saying there was no decision yet.

Much to my surprise when I walked into his room I saw that he had already been moved out of the isolette and Jas and the nurse decided to surprise me! The NICU has several actual cribs, but they are all being used currently so for now he gets this little open air bed. It may look familiar to many of you moms because they use them in the nursery and for transporting the babies for visits in the postpartum rooms. When I was recuperating I wished Chase was in one of the little "cribs" and that he could come visit me. It took a little time, but now he's finally in one!
