and the name is... :) Brevik. it's matt's mother maiden name. we intially loved the name, but then other fun ones kept coming up. however, after seeing him, loving him - Brevik was the only name that suited him. we'll probably call him Brev for short?? or he'll have about 1oo nicknames like his older brother cooper has!
we've been going over every day to the nicu. the facility is unbelievable in terms of technology and staff. we feel extremely grateful brev is in such great hands. he's breathing on his own, i've been able to breastfeed a few different times (never knew what a powerful moment that would be in my life, wow!), doing "kangroo care", changing diapers, tempature readings, etc.. kangroo care is where there is only skin to skin contact between the baby and parent. it's suppose to help with recovery, feeding and connection. we got him set up on some classical lullabye music in his little condo, given to him by his aunt and uncle. again, it's suppose to help with recovery. they believe now he'll be able to join us at our home on either wednesday or thursday. we can't WAIT! ( i apologizie in advance for any grammar errors - i'm running on zero sleep and energy!)
please keep the positive prayers and energy down this way!!!
