Nesting 2 .0


Crib is waiting.
(yep-- two safety violations in one picture... a bumper and a Bumbo!  Go on and shoot your mommy judgement eyes at me.  Crib is 60 years old and meets no current safety standards for spacing between the bars.  Also, not planning on leaving baby unattended on top of the table.  Carry on :-))

Rocking chair sits ready.

Carpets are steam cleaned.
Tiny little clothes are pressed and hung.
Toys for the wee one are dusted off and anxious to be played with.
Prescriptions are filled.  Medical equipment is set up.

Our family is ready to be together.

All that's missing is a baby.
And he'll be here tomorrow!!!


Parker SHOULD (barring some disaster) be home tomorrow afternoon.  He threw us a bit of a curveball this morning and started puking.  My heart just fell to my toes... that's a sign of possible reherniation and I just don't know if I could have handled that less than 24 hours from discharge.

A chest x-ray was done, which looked perfect.  The consensus is that his new reflux meds hadn't yet kicked in, and we've had no problems since then.  Fingers crossed.  Toes crossed.  Arms, legs, and eyes crossed.

See you soon!

  6. Good luck for your family to be together again and it has to be the best day ever, a second birth if I may say. I am starting my journey tomorrow, being induced at 39 weeks with my boy with LCDH and I hope I get to write this post.

  17. I was soooo happy to hear that Parker was being kicked to the curb! Sorry I couldn't come give him a kiss goodbye. I was busy, ironically, dropping off another CDH. But, give him lots of hugs and kisses from me. And most of all enjoy loving and caring for him in the comfort of home. There is nothing like it.
