Going Home

About half an hour ago they came and took my iv out, so it is real - i AM going home today :) And even better: they are changing my antibiotic so I can nurse Annalise when I get home. I am so looking forward to getting home so I can hold her and tell her over and over again that I am her Mommy. She was only 10 days old when I got here, now she's 16 days old. I've missed almost half her life at this point. Once I get home and get into our regular routine, I know it won't take long before this seemingly long week will seem like no time at all. But perspective is something that tends to be far sighted.

Something that was funny that happened here, when Caleb came to visit the first time, he brought me a balloon with a bear on it that read "Get Well Soon!" I'm sure it won't come as a surprise that when my mom said, "What do you want to tell Mommy?", he said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" :)

  1. I am so glad to hear you're going home and can soon put all this behind you. I know how important it was to you for the dr to switch your medicine, so I'm thankful that all worked out too! Hopefully you can get some rest... and then send us some more pictures of Annalise (& Caleb)!

  2. Since I went into the hospital, we've taken so few pictures, but we'll make up for lost time.

    I'm writing from home now :)
