September 14, 2013 - 7 Weeks Old, Mom Back to Work, Doing Great

September 14, 2013

Well, Mom only as time to write for a few minutes every now and then now that she has gone back to work.  I went to the pulmonologist this past week and they are trying me off of the oxygen!  I have to be on another monitor for 24 hours to make sure everything is ok but if so, no more oxygen!

Latest update overall:

Weight: 10lbs 3oz
Height: 21 inches
HC: 15.5 inches

Still on the monitor but that is ok and now off of oxygen for the time being.

Developmentally: The state offers a free service for all babies who were born medically fragile like me.  They will send a physical therapist evaluator to your home to determine if I need services and if so, the services are provided at your house at a very low rate.  The good news is that I am developmentally on track for my adjusted age.  They track my development from my due date until I am 2.  I am a little behind in my fine motor skills but everything else looked aok!

Sleeping: I have not graced my parents with more than 5 hours of sleep yet but I find that generous.  I still have some reflux and gas issues so that keeps them up at night.

Mom went back to work and things are crazy.  Two kids I guess is a lot more difficult to one.  Everything is on a strict schedule.  Bath time, dinner time, story time, all have to be in sync so that the house can go to bed by 930pm.

We have been doing lots of fun things on the weekends though. Lots of hiking.  I have already been on 3 hikes!  Lots of cooking and then of course lots of hanging out with the neighbors.

Life overall is pretty great for Team Sloan!
