    @JennaHack He is adorable!
    @caseyandlizzie It looks like he's saying "how do you see out of these things, mom?"

    @caseyandlizzie He is doing great! We are starting to work on breastfeeding, and will hopefully start bottles soon. He just needs to learn one of them, so we can get the heck out of here! I'm getting completely impatient, and then I get totally emotional about it. I just want to get home so I can have a little bit of time with him before I have to go back to work. I haven't talked with anyone there, but I'm supposed to start back beginning of July. I really want to have a month at home before. DH has given me permission to quit if I'm not ready to go back. We are planning on moving home next year, so we might just move earlier if I quit. I'm really starting to hate hospitals. I also feel pretty alone since my family left this weekend. I spend all my time at the hospital, and we have asked that people not visit since he is so little and in the nicu. I feel a lot if guilt the nights I don't stay here.

    Sorry that was a book.

    @apollo11235 - Are you the next one now the sweetpotatos had her babies? Looking good!

    @abt8113 - Have you joined a board or support group for mom's with littles in the NICU? I had a friend who's little one was in there for many months (they knew this before birth), and a support group helped her to cope with some of the struggles like going home at night.

    @mseale I haven't. I've tried to talk to a few if the moms who have babies there too, but they either aren't interested in talking or their babies go home within the next couple of days. There also aren't a lot of moms that spend a lot of time there. I've talked with a few friends who have had kids in the nicu before, and it does help. One if the doctors today mentioned him going home in a couple of weeks, and I really hope that happens. We had a good day today trying to breast and bottle feed. Hopefully he continues to improve.

    @abt8113, sorry to hear you're having such a hard time, but so glad to hear today was a good day!

    @mseale, thanks! Am I next? I don't remember who I was/am "in line" after. I know sweetpotatoes and I were pretty close, but we always seemed further away because she was having twins.
