We're Home! {kind of}

After six weeks in the NICU, Elliot was discharged today. We're staying at the Ronald McDonald House for one more night and heading back up north tomorrow.
I don't want to jinx anything, but Elliot has been SO great since we brought him home. No crying or fussing. All he cares about is eating, sleeping, and cuddling. He's such a good baby.

Some things you have to do to come home:

Take your first REAL bath- he loved this! Since he always screamed through his sponge baths, I braced myself for the worst as I stripped him down for his bath. But as we lowered him into the warm water, his eyes got huge and he sat quietly the whole time while we soaped him up.

Get dried off

Bundle up

Pass the carseat test- He slept through the whole thing- all 90 minutes of it.
