Home Is Where Cameron Is

April 13 (day 5)

Today I could not wait to get back to the hospital I was the first mom to ring the bell after the staff change at 8am. I wanted to talk to the doctor and see how my baby was progressing.

As I walk in I see that all the tubes have been taken off Cameron except for his feeding tube. He is in a crib and out if the incubator. The jaundice has cleared up and the nurse says he was bottle fed the night before to test how he would transition and he did well.

This morning since I was there I am asked to breast feed him to see how he latches on to me...I am elated and screaming thank you Jesus on the inside!!! How amazing!

My breast feeding session went well and he not only latches but he fed for a good while. Feeding him directly also will help in getting the remaining yellowing in his skin and eyes cleared up.The doctor comes in and states he is doing well and if I want to spend the night to monitor him we can take him home the next day. I couldn't say YES any faster!

It's been a long week but hearing today that it was almost over was such a relief. I'm grateful my breast milk is flowing and I'm healing myself slowly but most importantly ...Cameron is coming HOME!
