The Red Roof Inn

This morning Lindsay and I went up to the NICU around 11.  We grabbed the sign in sheet, flipped to page 18. To our surprise, there were some strange names on the sheet.  Owen and Olivia had been moved downstairs.  They are now in the progressive care nursery, or PCN.  Today there was only one other baby in there, so it was pretty quiet.

There's only one nurse down there.  She was great with the kids and us.  She joked that the NICU was like the Marriott, the PCN is closer to the Red Roof Inn. She coached Lindsay a little bit on bottle feeding Owen.  He took down 28 ml of his formula, which is a huge improvement.  Olivia took down her whole bottle of about 40ml in 10 minutes.  She should be doing her car seat test this afternoon.  If she keeps eating well, she'll be the winner in the race to come home.  The PCN nurse thinks it will be Monday.  We'll see.  Have a great weekend.
