Ready, Set, Blast Off!


The countdown begins! Luke has completed his test drive of Annie's car seat, crib is ready, meds picked up.. Sure we forgot to get diapers but we're practically ready! We learned today that Annie's breathing test hasn't yet been read by Dr. G. Early indications are that Annie's breathing is not quite perfect and she may need to go home with a monitor. If so, it may take another day before Annie can come home while we arrange for a monitor. We won't know until tomorrow so stay tuned.

I write this while looking over at the empty crib and realize that I can now accept that Annie is really, truly coming home. For so long, I wouldn't allow myself to think of such a thing and stuck to facing whatever the issue of the day was. Now I can imagine her coming home, taking her outside, watching Luke get to know her.. the list goes on. I now see that we are past this and little Annie will be home soon. Waiting a day is really no big deal at all.
