It's the final countdown! We are so close to bringing Noah home!!! 

On Sunday, Noah's feeding tube came out, which is almost the final step to coming home. Prior to Sunday, Noah had been taking a certain % of his feeds via bottle and nursing but also was supplementing via the tube. Now that the tube is out, he's ad-lib feeding, meaning he eats when he wants (bottle or nursing) and we do not supplement. But we don't let him go longer than 4 hours without eating. As long as he continues to grow, that's great! Sunday and Monday, he "snacked" all morning! Nursed a little, took some bottle, slept a hot second, then repeat! Yesterday, he had 4 hour stretches of sleep and then we had to wake him up to eat.  His NICU schedule is out the door!!!

We are very excited to bring him home soon, but also nervous! We've had the comfort of our NICU nurses and dr.'s caring for Noah for almost 4 months. We've gotten into a routine and have made some great friends here. But it will be great to not have to do the daily 45+ minute drive to the hospital and just be able to snuggle with our little man in the comfort of our home :)

Oh yeah and little man is growing. He's over 7lbs!!!!
