Ethan will be two weeks old tomorrow, and he’ll be ready to come home very soon. We don’t have a date yet, but I think it will be sometime in the next few days. His feeding tube was removed again, and its been out for two days now. He’s gained all his weight back and has surpassed his birth weight by 2 ounces. He now weighs 5 lbs 7 ounces. His pneumogram indicated some problems so when he comes home, he’ll have to be hooked to a monitor 24/7 to alert us if he has any apnea episodes. We met with the monitor company on Friday and got some training on how to operate it. It will be a pain to keep him hooked to a monitor, but it will also be reassuring to know that we’ll be aware if he has any breathing problems.

We’re pretty much ready for him to be home. I vacuumed the car and installed the car seat today. The car seat just barely fits in my car. I don’t think it will fit in Aaron’s car at all. His nursery isn’t completely finished yet, but it is ready enough for him to come home. I did some last minute shopping today to get a few things we still need. I am going to install his closet organizer tomorrow, so I can get all his clothes hung in the closet. His room still needs a door (on order with Phillips), window casing and trim needs caulking/painting, blinds and curtains and pictures need to be hung. That’s all that’s left to do in his room. Once the finishing touches are in place, I will share some pictures of the room.
