First night

First night at home, and can you believe that Micah slept through the night? No, you shouldn't believe it, because it's far from the truth.

We arrived home around 4:00 yesterday afternoon, just in time to feed Micah. He took the whole bottle orally, and proceeded to do the same at 7:00. Did we just need to go home? Did we really not need the g-tube? That question was answered later, as he was screaming louder than I've ever heard and was inconsolable for his 10:00 feeding, as well as his 1:00am feeding (I'm thinking he's constipated, because he hasn't had a messy diaper for 24 hours, and he usually has 4-5 per day). We opted to let him sleep through his 4:00am feeding because he had surely burned too much energy with the screaming sessions. He woke up at 5:30am (so, he slept from 2am-5:30am... not bad). I woke him up to feed him at 8:00am in a sorry attempt to get him back "on schedule." After changing his diaper and his clothes and trying to wake him up, I ended up giving him the whole bottle through his g-tube because he just wanted to keep sleeping. And he's still asleep (at 10:15am), though in the swing.

There's some major organization to do. We need to set up some "feeding stations" for Micah. He doesn't have a pump with his tube, which makes him more portable, but I need to hang some droppers in various locations so that I can feed him without a huge ordeal.

I think Nathan is happy to have him here. He even brought Micah his pacifier this morning.
