Annnnd BREAK! Down that is...

So, I was doing really well. Haysley had her minor set back of not being able to maintain her temp, and was put back in the isolette. They told me if would just be the weekend before she's be home, no big deal. Well, the weekend has come and gone my friends, and still no baby! Saturday was the hardest day. I came to visit and learned her temp hadn't moved in 18 hours and they didn't plan on it moving that night either.

In order for the bed to be dropped she needs to have a temp of 36.6 or higher for them to be happy. And, obviously, she's not doing that. I think the most frustrating thing...well, one of many...is that Haysley looks like a normal baby now. Weighing in at over 5lbs, she's become known as 'the little chunker' in the NICU, and she just looks like a perfect little newborn. She's passed every test they've hit her with and been fine. She's eating like a champ (all bottles)...but she's still there. And it's like everytime I visit, it becomes even harder to leave...

So, that's the update. I have two perfect little girls, 15 months apart. They just live 32 miles away from each other.

Come home soon, Haysley. Mommy misses you...

  1. Ugh... I hated all our setbacks... I feel you on that one. Glad both your little girls are no longer miles apart :)
