First Night in His Big Boy Crib

Since birth, Peyton has been on some kind of monitor. He had many "wires" attached to him during his early days. He had a temperature probe, leads, a ventilator, (later just oxygen), a saturation probe, an NG tube, a pic line, an IV line..... you get the picture. As Peyton became stronger and passed his many hurdles, one by one, we've taken away his many lines. His latest accomplishment....He has been off oxygen for about three weeks now and we are finally enjoying the freedom of a wireless baby! I can actually walk from room to room with him! He accompanies me as I make the beds in the morning and gather the laundry, etc. I can even change his diaper in his room on the changing table. Up until we took off the nasal canula, we were confined to the living room where we had everything set up like a mini hospital. He could only go as far as the length of his oxygen wiring and sat monitor. Being a wireless baby also means that Peyton can now sleep in his crib in his room. Last night was the first night he slept in his crib! It was exciting to see his little body so cozy in his "Big Boy Crib". Of course, I made a bed right beside him and slept there inches away from his monitor, but it was a huge step! Each day, my little miracle baby takes a tiny step and makes our hearts swell with pride!
