On the move

At noon today we were told there would be no beds available on the next floor for moderate care...bummer.  It wouldn't really change the things happening for Lucy, but maybe just make Josh and I more comfortable...a bathroom in the room :) I was getting really sick of walking down the hallway to pee every hour especially in the middle of the night. A few hours later, the nurse popped her head in and said pack up, you're moving, "they miscounted the beds" 

Really?! They miscounted beds?

Thanks Lord.

I didn't know what to expect for moderate care. I was so used to nurses changing all the diapers, passing her to me from the bed to the chair for nursing, swaddling her. etc... Well, it is clearly our turn to start caring for her ourselves...And nothing says normal like Josh and I changing her diaper together around all the lines. Everytime we would stick a clean one under her, she would poop or pee again! Four diapers and many wipes later, I think she's cleared out. I love these moments as reminders that very soon we will be home doing all the normal baby stuff.

As of now Lucy is weaning off oxygen and airflow and making sure she is gaining weight through feeding. Pray with us specifically that Lucy will do this well. Since she is still recovering from surgery she uses a lot of energy and calories to eat. The problem would be if she uses more calories than she is taking in. This is really the last major step before coming home. We are anticipating only 2-3 more days if all goes well.
