Raptor is doing GREAT!! He is off of everything (as you can see :)) except for a feeding tube and an IV!! I got discharged today so I could get to my baby boy! I got to hold him skin to skin and it was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.

Thanks ladies, I'm on my way there now! So excited to see him.
Bex3 my recovery isn't going so well. I am feeling horrrrrible. I'm still in so much pain and i am just exhausted emotionally and physically. It's really really hard. I will get there though I'm making small improvements everyday!!
Thank you mommas! I know, his hair absolutely melts my heart! So much of it and so blonde!!
I CANNOT WAIT to get to the NICU this morning. I get to start trying to breast feed him today.
You ladies all make me feel even more optimistic!! :) he is the cutest thing I've ever seen and gets cuter every day.
As for spending time with him, I can spend as much time in the NICU as I want! I can only hold him skin to skin once a day for now, he can also only be held for about an hour to an hour and a half at a time... but those things will change soon hopefully! The doctor also told me today that I can actually start trying to breast feed him! He might not have a strong enough suck to get anything yet, but it will introduce him to how to do it! I went down twice yesterday and will be going for my second trip today in just about an hour or so! I miss my little man, leaving him is so hard, I can't even describe how much it breaks my heart every time I leave there. But seeing him is the best, most rewarding thing in the world.
Mommylovebug we aren't sure! They aren't even sure! The standard time they tell you is to plan on their due date, which his was dec 12! However, he could come home earlier or later just depending on how he is doing! But everyone is pretty positive he will be coming home earlier than that! We are kind of hoping for around thanksgiving! :)
Thanks mommas!
Haley he was 4 lbs 6 oz and was born at 32 weeks 4 days!!
We just left the NICU again! He's doing perfect still. Nothing but progress from my little miracle man. :)
Thank you ladies! All of your comments make me smile! He is so handsome and perfect, you have no idea!
Yes, his hair is ADORABLE! So much blonde fuzz it's ridiculous.
jjl23 awe I appreciate you asking about us!! Really, that put a smile on my face! He is doing so well and I am having a rough recovery, but I will be okay... My baby boy is all I need ?
Started smoking 🚬 again and i know it's bad but by god I literally felt like ripping my skin 😱 off it got so bad
Skin to skin
Did you mamas do skin to skin right after pushing your little ones out or did you wait until you got too your recovery room? I never did this with my first as I didn't know shat only being 16. I would really love to experience this and so much more this time around.
Should I take her to the hospital?
I breastfed skin to skin and pulled away to see this
I wonder where I got this light skinned child from lol my mother maybe lol. I love her she's so perfect
So adorable! I love his hair! & so glad to hear you finally got to hold him, skin to skin:) hope all goes well from here on! Lots of hugs & kisses mama!!
