Bradleys 1st month

Bradleys first month was spent staying at home and just relaxing. We love having him home from the NICU but because he is on oxygen we don't go anywhere to much because its not good for him and its a pain to have to carry the oxygen tank and monitor everywhere. Anna is the best big sister she loves to looking at him and always wants to hold him she listens to us very well when dealing with him. We couldn't ask for better kids.

coming home

Well I realized I left my blog with Bradley still in the NICU.. well he's not in there any more he actually got out of the NICU on September 12 (2 days after Anna's birthday party thank goodness) it was a fun but stressful week. Anna got an eye infection the day before he came home so we sent her down to Grandma Vals for the weekend. Also the day before he was suppose to come home he started to desat (lower oxygen levels) so they decided to put him on oxygen (booo) and a monitor (the same one we had with Anna). We thought we were going to get out of there with a cordless baby but nope he thought we were getting off to easy. So with the NICU when your baby comes home on something they make you do what is called a "Room in" which means you have to stay in a room there (which is like a hotel room but way smaller) luckily we know a few people there and had already done all this with Anna so we only had to stay like 8 hours which was awesome so I went home got riley we went back to the hospital and did our room in and were home that night.
