The Difference a Year Makes

A year ago tonight, was the very first night we got to spend with our baby boy. He was 5 1/2 weeks old, and boy were we excited. I remember being in a straight-up panic all of that day that he would have a d-sat and we wouldn't get to bring him home after all. I sat by his bed in the NICU all day and watched the monitor like a hawk. I could hardly tear myself away to go home and pack my clothes so that we could bunk up with him in the NICU that night and take him home the next. Alas, he didn't d-sat. It was Valentines Day. And, by far, the best one we've ever had!

A year ago today:



Our little 7 lb., 13 oz. munchkin. Almost all ours.

So big and healthy!
