Moving up in the world... floor C5!

Last night we finally got out of the ICU to floor 5! So that was a big step.... The night nurses were not too knowledgeable in knowing how to feed Baby Jakey. So it was a little frustrating to me, because he ate less orally than he did in the ICU.

Its quite different on this floor. We went from the nurses not wanting you to move baby by yourself or change his diapers in the ICU and than we moved and nurses are no where to be seen. And we are in charge of everything! Which is nice in a way, but also kinda scary because it went from all help all the time, to absolutely nothing.

Hopefully our day nurse will be a smart one.

Jacob's last big challenge is to be able to eat those 3 oz of milk. It is said to be a very difficult one, but than we can go home. And I can not wait to get back into a routine at home with my 3 boys!

    We were able to see Jakey today and my daughters agree that he is cute!!
    Fewer nurses on the 5th floor means more time for you ;). None of them will be able to get jake to eat faster than mommy :)
    I got a chance to speak with Alex. I'll catch you later this week.
    You're in our prayers. Stay strong.
