We LOVE our home. It's so great to be here even if it is a mess... but seriously, if that's our biggest concern that's not a big deal is it? Thanks to everyone for the huge "welcome home" banner... it makes us smile every time we see it... we are going to keep it up for a while, because I am just so encouraged that we are home, and it's great to remember all the people we have pulling for us.
I wish we could post a few pictures, but somehow we lost our camera in the transition from hospital to home. We do have a "backup" camera, but it doesn't always work very well-- even so, I should be able to get some new pics posted either today or tomorrow. If the camera doesn't turn up in a few days we will just get a new one so that we can keep you all in the loop with photos once Nico gets home too.
Josiah had a great night. Nick and I were exhausted during feeds, but it all worked out. He's actually doing really, really well. He's taking more via mouth since he's been home and less via the tube. I'd LOVE to be done with that by the time Nico gets home, but if not, that's okay.
Josiah has his first "well baby" doctor appointment with his regular pediatrician on Monday... I never thought I'd get so weepy thinking about him being a "well baby." My cup truely overflows...
Nia is fantastic. SHe's a little fragile emotionally right now, but she's not at all jealous of Josiah. It's hard to say if it's all the transitions that are a bit of a challenge for her or if it's the fact that she's been with grandparents for 2 weeks now and is not used to hearing the word "no." :) (And of course, that's as it should be... ) She loves her brother like crazy cakes.
Okay, speaking of Nia-- I am going to get off this computer and go spend some time with her now while Josiah is sleeping...
More later...
