Tyler is not home yet. If anyone was curious. And if anyone even glances at this.
His original due date was Nov 17th, but after the ultrasound it was changed to Dec 1st. The nurses have only said he may be home around his due date. But they haven't said anything recently.
It's frustrating. Beyond frustration you can ever imagine. I see the other babies growing and changing and then going home. Except Tyler. He has grown--a lot! He's already 6 lbs. 2 oz. and he gains another ounce every day or two. He's healthy. He hasn't had a's and b's in quite some time (apnea and bradycardia). He's doing great. But he doesn't get the bottle. He tires way too easily when trying to feed orally. A developmental specialist has visited and given him a special bottle to try to help him out. But it's still all so frustrating. I can't even write about it anymore. I just wanted to write something. Anything. Too bad it sucks.
It's called postpartum depression if it lasts longer than 4 weeks. At least, that's what the books say. I wonder...
