Waiting and more waiting

So now we are waiting in the Special Care Nursery, which we learned he was in just because of the adoption. We has been completely healthy the entire time. Because he was early they have to do a carseat test. They have to do a 20 minute test to get a baseline oxygen. Then they put him in the carseat for another 20 minutes and make sure he can maintain his oxygen while crunched up in the carseat. Once that is done we can leave. They just updated us that he needs to do a three hour car seat test because of our drive home to Cedar City. So we're working to get him discharged, but we have to wait for the agency owner who was listed on the papers. 

So we will be waiting for another 3 hours.  Man this changes faster than I can keep up. Peyton was born 5 lbs and 17 inches long. But as most babies do, he lost some weight and it turns out he is too small for our carseat. So he doesn't need the test after all and will be riding flat in a car-bed. 

We have been waiting an hour for the owner of the agency, listed as the case worker for this case to come so we can be discharged. Oh the joys of waiting.

  1. I remember doing that car seat test with Jarom as well. Where do you get a flat car-bed? That sounds exciting. Do they come in my size?
