Matthew Is Graduating To A New Floor!

Matthew is moving to a new floor in Motts Hospital, out of the NICU. This may sound exciting, but to us it is scary. We are pretty anxious and nervous about the whole move, but know he will be ok. The best thing is that we will get to take care of him and stay in his room. The hardest thing will be lack of sleep, time away from Andrew, the possibility of Andrew getting sick...then what???? (hopefully this won't happen), getting used to no monitors in the room, and no nurse at his bedside.

I am at the NICU right now, trying to stay awake and waiting for the move to take place. Then I will be in his room and might be able to get a few hours of sleep. We'll see. I obviously won't be getting to those pictures again...

Oh ya...Matthew is just short of 6 lbs!!! He is now 34 weeks gestation and on his 31st day of life!

  1. This is awesome!!! I can't believe he's already moving out. I can't wait to see some new pictures but for now, I'm guessing your hands are going to be pretty full. Will you essentially be living there until he gets to come home?

  2. Yes, I wouldn't leave him alone in the room and he would not have a nurse in the room with him, like the NICU...so Eric or I would always be there.
