Hi all, a quick post to fill ya in on our hourly life today. Olin will be in the NICU (intensive care) for the duration of her stay here, which could be several weeks (she is so tiny and needs constant attention- they sometimes forget to breath!- but the nurses up there are fantastic). So we have to go and visit her instead of her staying in the room with us. Jyoti is still recovering so can only visit occasionally, and it requires that her entire bed be moved up to NICU, so its quite an entrance when she goes (I imagine she likes that!). By 11 tonight she should be off the meds (magnesium) so the hourly checkups on her will end, and hopefully she (we) can finally sleep tonight. She's been with Olin twice and on the second visit those two had the breast feeding down already. The nurses said it had been a long time since they'd seen someone that young catch on so quick (it was the first attempt).

So now we're waiting to visit Olin again, and later tonight we'll be transferred to a room closer to her (Olin's on the 3rd floor, we are currently on the 1st) and hopefully get more sleep. Bhones has been with our dog sitter (Barbara) since yesterday and I'll probably pick her up tomorrow. Where pretty much just taking our schedule day by day at this point since Olin's arrival has caught us off guard!
