Yesterday we got to take Andrew home after a very long day of waiting for him to have a wet diaper. The hospital was worried that he was dehydrated, so they wouldn't discharge him until he had 2 wet diapers. The first one came around 11am, but after pushing extra formula (our baby can drink from a cup!) and nursing all day he still hadn't had another wet one by 4:30pm. We were starting to worry he wouldn't make it in time to be discharged before the doctor left for the day (i.e. before we would be stuck at the hospital another night), so we decided to mix things up by taking a walk. One step out the door and the indicator stripe on the diaper turned blue (i.e. the diaper was wet!).
But the real fun came last night when Andrew did not manage to sleep more than 2 hours in a row. I tried to change diapers and rock him, but in the end I really didn't have what he wanted. Then today he slept all day, while we were unable to do so. Tonight should be interesting.

Welcome to parenthood, where nothing is predicable and when it becomes predictable....they change it up again! Hope you get some sleep soon! Andrew looks so cute in his blue cap.
