One year ago today....


We brought our sweet baby boy home from his two month stay at Presbyterian hospital. It had been a long and trying time for us that had finall come to an end! It was truly a surreal day. I can remember the feelings that Joey and I had like it were yesterday! I will never forget the way I felt as we were checking out how grateful I was to finally be able to take my baby home! I kept waiting on someone to tell me, "no wait we forgot something." Or something that was going to prevent him from really being able to come home! It was like the best dream ever, except it wasn't a dream. For days and months I had to to leave my baby every single night and go home while he stayed at the hospital because I knew that I had to be patient and wait for him to grow bigger and stronger, but that was truly the hardest thing that I have ever gone through. It never got easier and I will forever remember this day July 4th for two reasons now!! So happy 4th of July everyone from our family to yours!!!
