Get me outta here!!!

That's what Evan's sweet eyes are screaming at us more and more
lately. It seems Evan is just as ready (mentally) as Ben and I to get
the heck out of this room! All week long we were told that we should
expect to be home before the weekend is over, not the case :( Our
bubble has definately been burst! Do they realize this Tuesday will
make our stay here 5 weeks too long! Of course another attending is
covering for Dr. Z this wknd and has different opinions about what
Evan needs to do in order to get home and this is, of course,
frustrating us to our wits end. Evan is sloooowly taking more by mouth
but they are still running the tpn nutrition overnight and thus
possibly not getting fully hungry. His stomach motility is probably
still slow as well. Oh, he also clearly has a case of thrush as well
but they aren't going to start treating that yet, just wait and watch
it get worse until tomorrow and reasses then. I don't think we will
know realistically what the plan is until we see Dr. Z again. He could
have his second surgery in 2 weeks, what if we are here until then??
Ahhhhh!!!!

We snagged a baby swing today and E enjoyed that. I also haven't had
him hooked up to any monitors today so he was able to be on the bench
bed cooing at a mirror with his bros and also had a walk in the halls
in my baby k'tan carrier. I'm not sure if I was suppose to take him
off the monitor but no one has said anything and being cord free at
least gives me a small slice of sanity here for a moment ;)

We were sad to see Auntie Sam leave this morning- the week flew by too
quick! We will have the night nanny come back a couple nights now, we
still have some hours with ABC Doula available and also some Doulas
from Renaissance Doula are donating some night help so they can help
us out while getting experience with multiples- win win! We are amazed
by the kindness and generosity of our family, friends and strangers!!

P and R are growing up so fast at home too! They are more alert for
much longer, enjoying playing for longer periods, no longer scream
bloody murder during diaper changes, and settle much easier after the
night feeds so we all are getting a few more minutes of much needed
rest! Hopefully Evan will join right in once we break him free! I may
just bring him home tonight, they will probably think it is one of my
other babes and we will be long gone before they notice the truth
(another benefit of having a litter of babes- it easily confuses
others!)

Looking forward to sunshine and a possible "4 hr pass" for Evan
tomorrow....
