Day 15 - Mother's Day

Since Jonah was due June 2nd, I didn't think I'd be a mother by this Mother's Day. The Ronald McDonald house put on a nice brunch and gave us all a flower and we also went out to dinner with AJ's family to celebrate. I didn't care for having my first mother's day in the NICU, but hopefully we'll go home soon, Jonah is doing great! He looks so much like a regular baby in his big boy crib and wearing regular clothes. And we get to try feeding him every three hours, he's up to almost half an ounce on good feedings. A friend of a friend who had twins that were in the NICU for a long time came to visit this week, she wanted to show me that they do actually get out of there and just lend her support. It was nice of her, but the day she came was the first day they were going to let us try to feed him, so we were a little anxious to visit and then get going again. Her twins are so cute though, and they were very premature and had a long uphill battle out of the NICU so it was uplifting to have her stop by.
