Avery is back up to rockstar status! The past couple of days have been very eventful. On Wednesday evening the doctors decided that Avery didn't need to have the sleep study again, she hadn't shown any signs of decreased oxygen and was not showing any apnea, so they cancelled the study! She was doing so well with feeding, they let me exclusively breastfeed her on Thursday and if she gained weight, they would let her go home on Friday! So we ate and ate on Thursday to make sure that she gained weight. Well, when we weighed her she was actually .45 grams less, but she had just had a diaper that weighed .83 grams, so they gave her the go ahead to come on home! We left around 3 pm on Friday and it was so great! It was sad to leave the hospital, we have gotten so close with everyone there and they gave us a great send off.

Avery did very well with the car seat and ride home, she slept the whole way. I can't even begin to express how great it is to walk around the room holding her without any lines or tubes! We hung out on the couch all afternoon together and are just so excited to be home! Last night was actually better than in the hospital. She slept really well and only fussed a few times but it was only when it was time to eat. After she ate, she went right back to sleep. We are definitely feeling sleep deprived, waking up every 2-3 hours, I know all you parents know how that is. But, we are so happy to have her home and be parents to Avery. I still can't belive that she is here right next to me at home while I type this! Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and good thoughts, Avery says thanks too!
