Jacob's first night at home was its own exciting and LONG adventure. Apparently, he needed to make sure everyone in the house KNEW he was home, so it was a round robin between Sheri, Rae and I on getting him to take his feedings and used to a new bedding and nightly sounds (or lack thereof). Perfectly normal, but tiring to us three (I know, I know, get used to it, its only the beginning...I can hear each of you who are experienced in this saying these very words ;) )
One of the things we got at the shower from Mom and Dad (which I am very grateful for) is a cradle swing. This will allow us to breathe a little easier; Jacob does very well when he is in it...see below
Armed with this, we expect to have some recourse to occupy his time when we need to switch gears (and he likes being in it, so hey, another perk!). Jacob is also still taking his bottles well, and pooping and peeing up a storm (nice to see some things don't change!)
Jordan is doing well at the NICU (I'm sure she misses her brother, but she continues to do well given the circumstances). Dad went up and spent some time with her during the lunch hour, and Sheri went up to be with her after work. And, our princess has hit THE 5 LB. MARK OFFICIALLY THIS EVENING!!!! YEAH JORDAN! Here are some photos of our growing baby girl!
Jordan's official numbers for the day are:
5 lbs. 0.8 oz
1 dirty diaper
5 wet diapers
1 brady episodes
0 desats
21% Room Air nasal cannula 1/2 Liter flow
45 CC's fortified milk 22 cal.
0 residuals
Prevacid (for acid reflux) 2 mg. 1 x day
Both our kids still have some adjustments now they are in different places, but we will all be together again very soon. Please pray for continued success for both!
More as it develops! Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports soon!
Kind regards,
The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
