3 weeks home!

We have now been home just over 3 weeks! Everything has been going great since Caydence had her little hiccup, or whatever you want to call it, last weekend. After we got back from the hospital she started acting like her normal self all over again. She made me feel like a crazy mom for taking her all the way back up to Stanford for nothing. She has been so much better over this last week that it's actually kinda weird because I don't know what got into her to start feeling better. She has been happy as can be and her spitting up has almost gone away completely. She only spits up about once a day and that is when she wakes up in the morning. We have finally been able to go up on the rate of her feeds and she's been tolerating it just fine. So hopefully she will start gaining some weight now. We also weened her adivan a little and it doesn't seem to bug her one bit, I'm sure we can have her off of it completely in no time. We have been working pretty hard with Caydence and her head control to get her caught up, and she is getting so strong! I put her in the bumbo chair for the first time today and she loved it! She was able to sit upright in the chair and hold her head on her own. It was great to see her sitting up and not just laying there. I can't wait until she gets stronger and stronger and gets to be more mobile. She is doing so good and it is the best feeling seeing her improve by the day. Coming home has been so good for her and I am so happy we pushed for this instead of sticking her in a facility. Lately we have been able to get some more sleep because we have gotten more comfortable with our nurses. Our day shift nurse is great, she comes in at 5am when our night shift nurse leaves, and I basically just get up to see how the night went and let her know anything that has changed with Caydence and then I go back to bed. It is nice that we can finally trust them enough to get some sleep of our own. The only bad thing about nurses are that they are still people and they do call in sick, like tonight...so I won't be getting any sleep tonight since our nurse is sick. I just hope that he is really sick and not just someone that is going to call in all the time because I need to go back to work really soon and I can't be staying up all night and trying to work. In a way I am excited to go back to work but then I am just so nervous to leave Caydence for so long. We already think things are crazy having her home from the hospital, now we are throwing going to work into the mix, things are only going to get crazier around here!
