First few days

Well Ruby's first few days were full of drama for us. She spent the first three days in the NICU due to having low blood sugar. So we spent most of our time going up stairs in the hospital to visit. It was really hard seeing her there and having to leave. She was having a hard time keeping her blood sugar up so they had to put a feeding tube in, which was better than the IV they discussed putting in. I was supposed to be discharged on Sunday and she wasn't going to be discharged until Monday, so we begged to be able to stay. We just couldn't bear the thought of coming home wihtout her. The hosptial came through and allowed her to stay in the room with us on Sunday night. Now she has been able to keep her blood sugar up and all is going well. She was released with us from the hospital on Monday, October 3, the day before her due date.
