Finally after 9 days in the NICU Elora was coming home. The night before her discharge they ran a bunch of tests, one of which was to keep her hooked up to the monitors and have her stay in her car seat for 6 hours. Here is a picture of her coming home at 4lbs!
It was so nerve wrecking taking her home, you get used to the monitors telling you that everything is all right and then you get her home... Needless to say I was a bit of a wreck! Not to mention that we had to wake her up every 3 hours to eat and a bottle typically took her 45 minutes to complete! She didn't learn how to suck/swallow/breathe in the womb so she has some maturing to do.
Also, weird thing is, she didn't cry. I guess it is a preemie thing, but she is the quietest baby :)
