Yesterday you turned 13 months old and today is one year from the day you came home last year! it's your come home day from the Yale NICU! We didnt celebrate your 13 month birthday yesterday but we did celebrate your come home day today. Everyone laughed when mommy said we were celebrating but I guess they will never understand how much emotion comes with this day.
One year ago when you were born I was told you might not breath on your own, walk on your own, function on your own, feed yourself, or what have you, basically if you functioned properly it would be a complete blessing, and that it is. I was also told you wouldnt come home until august! AUGUST thats two whole months from when you were born and it was closer to my due date. I also refused to go back to work until you came home and we were settled. and to my surprise you came home very early! after only 31 days in the NICU you were sent home :) I was so incredibly happy and scared and you were still only 4lbs 12 oz. When we got home I wasnt sure what to do with you, I kept moving you to your bassinet to my arms to your swing to your boppy I was so confused that day! but we slowly meshed together and now we are inseperable!
