Day 62. 5/31/2014.

Weight: 8lbs. 1.4oz.

Plan for the day: Eat, rest and grow more!

You officially did it, Little Man!  You're EIGHT POUNDS!  We had a rough start and at eight weeks early, you were born at 4lbs. 2oz.  Your lowest weight was about 3lbs. 10oz. So you've basically gained 4+ pounds since you've been here and it wasn't easy, but you did it!  Preemies have a harder time with feeding because of the suck-swallow-breathe coordination it takes.  You had a different method of eating when you were in Mommy's Baby House and since you left early, you had to learn a whole new method on your own.

We are so very very proud of you, son!

After morning rounds, Dr. M. came to talk to Mommy because you did have another episode last night but self-recovered.  She said you are bearing down because you are constipated so we are to give you prune juice.  They aren't going to hold your discharge and we are  still on schedule to go home tomorrow.

Mommy met Aunty Alison for dinner at Roy's and was surprised to have Aunti Keiki Dawn and Aunty Chigo join us!  It was quite the celebration dinner and so wonderful to spend time with them all!  

Aunty Al had the braised short ribs and Mommy had the Filet Mignon.

And, of course, we got their infamous chocolate soufflé for dessert! 

Then, Mommy picked up Daddy at the airport so we could get everything ready to fly home tomorrow!  

This is really it, Mav!  We are finally going home!!!!! Xoxo!
