We have been home for 24 hours now. Life has certainly changed now that he is home with us, it is still sort of surreal that he is ours since for 50 days he wasn't home with us. It is hard to move him around too much with his monitor but we are adjusting. Tucker is eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. He doesn't like the powder formula very much since he is used to the already prepared formula from the hospital. It keeps his tummy full longer too if he eats the already prepared formula so daddy is off to the store to go get more until we can find out from Dr. Guetersloh what we can try instead. A fuller tummy means he will sleep longer too. His heart/breathing monitor went off two times during the middle of the night. It scared mommy because it showed he wasn't breathing. I picked him up and said his name and stimulated him and his breathing came back up. That was the scariest thing ever. After I got him back to sleep I just laid in bed and cried because I'm so afraid that it is going to happen again and we won't be able to get him to start breathing again. It has happened before at the hospital but there were always nurses there to help, it is just us now. He doesn't like to sleep for long periods of time. I've learned that he will sleep longer if he is in the bouncy seat or swing. Mommy and Daddy are adjusting to not getting a lot of sleep either.
