At almost 3 weeks old, I FINALLY get to snuggle with him - minus wires and tubes and monitors - on our couch. Not some pull-out makeshift bed with hospital blankets, but OUR couch. In OUR house. His house.
This makes us all very, very happy.
We were discharged around noon. Sammy wasn't a huge fan of the car seat at first, but I think once he realized we were leaving, he was more than okay with it. Jay lugged all our stuff out to the car only to find out that the battery was dead! They managed to jumpstart it, and shortly after we were on our way home! Never a dull moment with us, I swear.
Sammy's doing well - sleeping in his swing right now. We're getting settled in - figuring out the routine at home. It's so nice to be able to feed him without fifteen people coming in needing to check this or get that or poke him or somehow otherwise interrupt. Though - it WAS nice having the nurses to change those poopy diapers! ;-)
Thanks for all your love, support and prayers the past few weeks. I'd write more, but we're all so very tired. For now, we need to sneak some rest while he snoozes away in his little swing. Welcome to parenthood!
What a tumultuous time you have just went through. I spent the past hour reading the updates since Sammy's birth..."Wow". I am so impressed with the patience and determination you demonstrated during these past few weeks. God has blessed you with such a handsome litte fellow that most certainly will bring his parents great joy in the years to come. Sammy, good luck to you "little man" and God's speed. You continue to be an inspiration for me as I experience a trying time in my life.

We are so happy for all three of you, and thinking of you. Anything that we can do (at all), just let us know - though it seems that things are finally as they should be.
Congratulations again.
