Day #69...I can't sleep!!!

I can't believe it...the day is finally here!!!

The doctor called today and said that Trey has been doing really well..Taking all of his feeds, gaining weight and that if he continued to do well over night that he can come home tomorrow. I starting dancing all around the house...

I went to the hospital and filled out the circumcision consent and it broke my heart. He has been though so much and here I go putting him through more pain..I feel bad, but it has to be done. Chris and I picked out his special go home outift and I packed the diaper bag. The bottles are washed, the nursery is done

I am so excited I can barely write tonight..I can't think. All I do think about is how it will be holding... him at home, changing... him at home, loving him...at home. So,here is my letter to our Little Monkey

Dear Christopher,

When your daddy and I found out we were pregnant we were beyond happy. We found out the week before Thanksgiving. We had your nursery all ready for you by Christmas Eve. We found out that you were a boy and I have never seen your daddy happier. Being pregnant with you was very easy and I loved it. You kicked all the time and were very active and I LOVED it, but you decided to come early. You came 12 weeks early. I spent 9 days in the hospital trying to keep you in by alas you came anyways on April 28th at 12:40pm. I was prepared for the worst because you were so early but you were pink and crying when you came in to the world. The second I saw you I feel in love with you and your first cry melted my heart. I have never seen your daddy so proud.

Your daddy and I have waited for 10 long weeks for this day, to bring you home. You see because you came 12 weeks early you spent 10 weeks in the hospital. We visited you ever day and watched you grow. I will never forget the first time I was able to hold you, or the first diaper we changed, or the day we fed you for the first time,or put clothes on you for the first time. It has been a long road and we love you more and more each day.

Tomorrow when we take you through the NICU doors for the first time I am sure we will be a little scared but more excited. I can't wait to bring you home and love all over you.

Love you so much
Mommy
