Happiest of Birthdays

Yesterday, Mom and I celebrated our birthdays together in the NICU. She turned 33 and I turned one month old! We didn't have cake or anything but she had a smoothie and I had some milk. Who cares about cake though because mom says she got the best gift ever when the NICU nurses told her I'd be going home today! Yup, you heard it right...TODAY!

Ever since my last spell on April 10th, they say I have turned a corner and my feeding has improved, I passed my car seat test (twice!) and I am officially a 6 pounder! Mom and Dad are so proud of me for all my hard work. They can't wait to take me home and hold me whenever they want and never sleep again! I'm worth it though.

Even though I'm going home today, I will still update you on some of my milestones and to show you cute pictures of me. Thanks to everyone who has helped Mom and Dad through this process. They said a lot of people want to meet me (I'm popular already!) so hopefully I can see people little by little so I'm not overstimulated and I'm not by too many germs. Us preemies are a bit high maintenance for the first few months. ;) And lastly, a big shout out to my NICU nurses for helping me grow and feel safe.

Real world, here I come!

 The best stickers say "Bringing Baby Home!"

Thrilled to have passed my car seat test!
