Home Sweet Home

It has been a long day but we are finally all home and together for the first time. Hayden is finally all better and was discharged from the NICU today. Ian had an appointment with the pediatrician this morning so we brought him back home where there were two grandmothers waiting to watch him while we went to the hospital to pick up Hayden and bring him home. As I said in the previous post, I will post Hayden’s NICU story, I promise…it may just take me a while to get to it in between feedings x2, diaper changes x2 and trying to get some sort of rest.

The boys haven’t been together since they were born last Thursday so we were anxious to have them together again. And we were anxious to have both of our boys home and with us. It has been very hard and tiring for us having one baby at home and one still in the hospital. Getting up during the night with Ian and then going back and forth to the hospital during the day doesn’t leave you much time for rest. Then there’s the whole recovering from major abdominal surgery thing. It’s been 1 week since I had surgery and not much resting. Needless to say, we are glad Hayden is home and we can just focus on taking care of our boys now.

The boys finally got to be next to each other again and they were asleep. They have to get acquainted with one another again after being apart. We always joked while I was pregnant with them that Hayden (Baby A) was pushing Ian (Baby B) out of the way and was the bully because Ian was always curled up in a ball with little room. After seeing them respond to each other now our theory has changed. I think now, Hayden was just trying to get closer to his brother and by doing so, it pushed Ian out of the way. But that’s just a theory…we’ll never know for sure.

These are the moments I dreamed about during the entire pregnancy!

And this is one happy daddy!
