Gabriel John was born in April 2012 at 22 weeks, 6 days gestation. He finally came home from the hospital the day before his 5 month birthday in September. This is the continuing story of Gabriel's life at home after the NICU.

Experiment = success
Last night, we finally got Gabriel up to 140cc per feed. This meant that essentially, he was on 6 feeds a day which allowed us to try him off the feeding pump without having to wake him up in the middle of the night for a meal. So, after a "midnight" snack at 10:30pm, Gabriel was put to bed and he slept all the way until 5:00am as planned! It means a little less sleep and rearranging of sleep schedules for me and Thomas, but getting him off the pump feels like a real step forward.
