I Can See The Light

We have a departure date......Thursday! After spending the night at the NICU on Monday night and feeding Carson all his bottles to prove he can do it they decided he is finally ready to come home! He is now on what they call an ad lib (spelling?) feeding which means he can have as much or as little as he wants with the idea that he will even himself out at the end of the day. This just takes the pressure off that we were feeling trying to get him to finish every bottle. I gave him a bath tonight which he HATED and then weighed him. He's now 6 lbs 2 oz! So as long as all goes well between now and Thursday we will have our little guy home in 48 hours! I have to admit as I was saying good night to some of the nurses tonight I was a bit sad because I won't see them again. They really have become part of our family. I will be sad to leave them all but not sad enough to stop from running out of the doors and driving away! Keep your fingers (and toes) crossed that we have no hurdles in getting home. I'll let everyone know and will be sure to post some pictures of the homecoming! I can hardly wait!!
