Roomin' In

Last weekend (Saturday, Sunday, & Monday) Trav and I had to room in at the hospital to make sure our home medical equipment worked and to make sure we were totally comfortable taking care of all Carter's needs. It started out lots of fun. We hadn't ever been with Carter during the night and really never longer than a 10 hour stretch of time and that only happened a couple times. I don't think we put him down the entire weekend and were more than happy to hold his binki in his mouth all day for him. Like I said though it started out fun, but come Monday morning we were more than ready to be on our way home.

We were so lucky to have some of our favorite nurses and doctors for the last weekend. Seriously how cute is Dr. Santiago's baby face smile. He came to bid Carter farewell and we had such a good time watching him play with him. Cathy was our night nurse all weekend which was so fun. She made sure to stock us up on home medical equipment and diapers :). David was our RT and it broke my heart to see him say good bye to Carter he shed a couple tears. He really was so great with Carter. We were so happy to be able to get Amy for a day again it had been a long time and we love her. Clara was our day nurse she does home health care one day a week so she was so great helping us prepare to go home.

On Saturday night my mom was able to bring Boston down to meet Carter. Everyone who was there cried. He took off down the hall the second he saw them rolling Carter's bed towards us. I will never forget the look on both boys faces. They were completely mesmerized with each other. I was bawling I couldn't even believe that after 4 and a half months they were finally meeting. The way they were looking at each other made it very clear that this wasn't the first time they had met.

This will always be a favorite picture.

The three of us heading home. Don't mind the fact that we look beyond tired. We didn't get much sleep that weekend and still haven't for that matter.

Carter was totally bug eyed for a couple days. He couldn't get enough of all the new places and people. It was the cutest thing ever!
