Thank you all!
Yes i did make the letters, i bought them and then put scrapbook paper over top of them and modge podged it on... some of the letters have stickers overtop also.
As for when he'll be able to come home... we'll we still dont know but i would say he's probably in the 3rd of 4 stages with the new stuff he's started yesterday. Different hospitals have different guidelines and we actually havent asked this hospitals criteria yet but generally speaking its being around 5lbs, being able to take a certain amount of feeds by bottles and being able to breath on his own... i think he also has to go a week without having a brady, which is where his heart rate drops. At this point its sort of up to him - he's progressing like he should be especially with the starting bottles and being in a crib, they've also been trying to continually wean down his oxygen in hopes of getting off that soon (though like i've said before i have seen some babies go home with oxygen). His bottle feeds will continue to increase as he is able to handle it and once he's taking enough by bottle bis feeding tube will come out. So anyway now that he'll be 35 weeks tomorrow its really just a question of when he's ready.
And yes we do get to see him every day now! I usually go for 2-3 hours during the afternoon and then dh and i go for a little while when he gets home from work sometimes. Its great
