Life at Home

It has been so nice to be home! I feel like we are getting more sleep now than when he was at the hospital. He is so much fun and we feel so blessed that he is doing so well. The Neonatologist who discharged Bode from the hospital last Friday could not believe how fast he was able to recover from his surgery. He said that most all babies born with his complications get to a certain point on their feeds they can't tolerate. All the Doctors were just waiting for Bode to hit that point, and he never did. It's just amazing. He is one tough kid! That is the reason why we were able to come home sooner than expected. God is really looking after Bode. He is just perfect. I love being a mom!

Bode looks like he is right where he is supposed to be~ home with his mommy and daddy :)
*** Lori, no thank you card is needed! Just wanted you guys to know that I was thinking about you. Seriously... don't spend time writing formal thank you notes. No one expects that from a new mommy enjoying her son!

He is beautiful! I know that you aren't supposed to say that about boys, but he's still small so maybe I can get away with it. I am glad that he is home. I could have predicted MANY YEARS AGO, that you would be an awesome mama.

He looks so happy! I bet he loves being home with you. I'm so glad he is doing well enough to be home with you finally!

Yah, that is crazy to think that I could have Capri right now. I still don't feel ready for her! Maybe I'm just feeling selfish, maybe its just nerves. lol We are really excited though.

Congrats on bringing him home!
