We have been so enjoying having our little Hannah home. I'm sure no one is shocked that posts have become even more sporadic. We have been busy with feedings and keeping Alexandra entertained. And of course I am feeling so rested from long uninterrupted nights of sleep. :)
Hannah seems to like home life. She is resting most of the day. Sometimes her eyes will be open for a half an hour or so and we all enjoy seeing the faces she makes. The funny little noises she makes have been likened to a dolphin, a goat, or a raccoon. The are definitely interesting. She almost never cries except for when we have to use the nasal aspirator. She loves to be swaddled. As long as she is tightly swaddled she immediately stops fussing. I guess that makes sense since they would have been 37 weeks on Monday. She had her first well check up last Monday and she was 4 lbs 14 oz. The doctor said she looked great.
Samantha had a problem with her oxygenation on tuesday so we had to restart her 5 day count down to coming home. As of now she is due to come home Monday. I asked the nurse about ten times, and she said that her problem was purely developmental. It's just a preemie thing. As soon as her brain gets used to remembering to breathe even when eating, she will be ready to go home. She said it's like a light switch. So we are hopeful there will not be anymore setbacks and soon our branch of the Johnson clan will be united.
Hopefully next update will say Samantha is home:)
