One Year Ago Today!

One year ago today we were able to bring Aaron home to our family. I know it was a busy day too. Chris had gone up to the hospital really early & I went up when he got home. Katie had a dance recital in the afternoon and I went to that. Chris took Meghan to a Girls Scout event and Ryan went to the old neighbor's house. We both waited all day long for the pediatrician to call so we could give our consent for Aaron's circ. We knew he had to stay for at least 4 hours after that so they could make sure he was good to go.

So we dropped the kids off at a friends house and went up to the hospital at 5:30. He had had his circ and they were just waiting for him to pee. I nursed him, signed papers and we started packing things up. The nurse checked him again and we were good to go. Man were we excited because he hadn't told the kids we were bringing him home that day. Ryan hadn't even met him yet.

So we were driving home at about 9:10 that night and stopped to pick up the kids. It was snowing lightly and it was beautiful. The kids got in the van and didn't even notice Aaron in his carseat. Finally Meghan did and yelled out. Katie just sat and smiled and stared at him the whole way home. Ryan too was baby struck. And boy were we all excited to have him home.
