Hi everyone,

On Tuesday June 7, 2011 at 4pm, Mommy and I were on our way home! I spent a total of 15 days in the Cleveland Clinic NICU. The first week was very rough for all of us. I gradually improved and shortened my visit by 6 days. I am doing very well now!

I am considered a preemie. I stopped growing inside my Mommy. I am also known as a IUGR baby (inside uterus growth restriction) . Mommy was THE one having issues, and they took a lot of blood from her for further testing. We are very glad we have answers now.

Our first week home hasn't been too bad. I am a very clingy baby. I do not like to be put down in my crib or swing. The only place I will tolerate is my car seat, and I sleep in that at night. Mommy has been doing everything solo, because Daddy is in the hospital. I already lead a crazy life :)

I wake up every 2 -3 hours a night. Mommy has not missed these nights, but she is surviving. I like to poop and sleep. Mommy has commented many times that I am just like my daddy. Niko does pretty good with me. He likes to hold me. Mommy is right there. Niko is a wonderful helper when he wants to be. Mommy and I have our first day together on Tuesday. Ahmi is watching each one of us one day a week. I have my Mommy on Tuesday and Niko gets to spend the day with her on Friday!!! Look for a lot of pictures :) Love, Jake
