It's a boy

Thanks Gabs. We are all doing well. He is up to his birth weight already and seems to sleep very well. Things are going great. My oldest is acting up but that is normal when a new baby comes home.

Yes it is but he will be ok

I know, I just wish I could make him realize that things between me and him are the same. I still do all the same things with him but with a twist, I know he will get over it and grow to love the new family but it hurts me to see him so put out by things.

Thank you very much. The stay in the hospital was so long, not only was I away from my oldest son but the baby was in ICU for 8 of the 10 days so I only saw him at feeding times. The longest 10 days I have ever lived. I am so happy to be home with them all now. Thank you again.

Thank you and I will.

I cannot image what you went through but am so Happy you can be home with all your family together......I wish you and your family nothing but well and happiness =) Keep us all posted Stacy

His name is Jordan Riley.

Great name! Congrats on every thing coming - out all right - sorry for the pun!

thank you. We are all very happy that everything was alright. Things could have been a lot worse for us.

Thank you, he is very proud and very much in love with his brother. He has to over come the jealous of new baby blues but he is a great big brother.

thank you, we are all doing fine. I am sure that when you are ready children will happen.

At 33 weeks babies don't know how to suck so they can't nurse. My son was tube fed for 3 days on the 4th day he ripped the tube out and every time they put a new one in he took it out right away, so we bottle fed and nursed under doctor care. When pre-term babies need NICU care they must demonstrate the ability to feed on their own, maintain oxygen levels on their own without the need for oxygen tubes, maintain body temperature levels on their own without the need for heaters, and demonstrate good weight gain. After all of that they then have to go through something called the car seat test, this test is to ensure that their O2 levels don't drop while in the more up right position that a car seat puts infants in. Pre-term babies have a hard time keeping an open air way making car seats one of the most dangerous places for them. This test consists of them sitting under nurse watch untouched for 1 and a half hours on an O2 monitor, if their O2 levels drop below 80% and they can't bring it up on their own they fail the test. Jordan failed his first test and had to do it a second time before we could leave.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much. Delivery was a breeze, I was in labour for 3 hours and because he was smaller I was ok after. I was so sick of the hospital and so sick of being away from my guys I was almost begging the doctors to let us go home. I am so happy that Jordan is doing as well as he, there were a couple of families in the special care unit that had been there for so long and were facing so much more before they could go home. I almost felt guilty that we where going home so soon and they couldn't even see the end yet. Adrian is a very proud big brother he is telling everyone about his baby brother and he is so cute he uses the baby's full name all the time. Thanks again.

Well happy birthday to your husband. Adrian is in love with his brother. He has told everyone about Jordan (the babies name is Jordan Riley). My husband says he tells everyone he passes in stores and on the street that he is a big brother and his brothers name and how much he weighs. Adrian is such and angel and so good with the baby.

Thank you, His name is Jordan Riley. Being in the hospital was the hardest part, I hated being away from Adrian I have never spent more then a couple of hours away from him until now. He is loving being a big brother; he got up this morning and bi-passed me for the baby, I didn't get a kiss from him until almost an hour after he got up he was so deeply immersed in his brother. Thank you again.

Thank you very much. I was so crazy from being unable to get outside that when we got home the first thing I did was drag the whole family out for a walk. 10 days was so long and with nothing to do but visit the nursery. I couldn't hold Jordan very long because of the monitors he was on, a half hour at a time with at least an hour in between. On day 9 the monitors came off so I had more to do the last day then the days before that.

Thank you very much. Adrian is such a good big brother, he loves holding his baby. It is good to be home.
