An update from day 10 of Jenna and Sam's lives...
Had a decent night at our hotel with Jenna, who fed every 3 hours and slept pretty well. In fact Andrew & I even slept at the same time for an hour or two while Jenna was sleeping which was nice.
This morning we headed over to the NICU/clinic at 9 for the hearing tests. Good news all around - Sam did well without any oxygen overnight and seems to be fine today too. We just need that to stay as is and he will be all clear from that hurdle. We are staying cautiously excited.
Next good news was that both aced their hearing tests. And then both are back to their birth weights which is also a good sign.
And then, as with most of our best moments around here, a nice surprise: there was a knock on our room while we were waiting for the doctor and in walks the nurse with Sam! She dropped him in my arms, said 'I'll be back in a few minutes', and walked out. So there we were, all four of us, together for the first time. We took a photo of J&S in my lap and when the nurse came back she took one of the four of us. Very cute.
Now we're back in our room and will rest for the remainder of the day.Hope everyone is having a good week. Love from all of us here.
