Well we are home...finally. We got to the house last night at about 5:30. We got the word around 10:00 that Chrystal was cleared and Spence got his clearance at noon. We then sat around for the next 5 and a half hours waiting on nurse Donna to get on the ball. We had a wonderful experience at the hospital with the staff, except Donna. If you have ever seen Just Friends, Donna is the mom in that movie. Dead on, the personalities couldn't be any more similar.
Ok enough complaining. The important thing is we are all home and healthy. Spence is spending some time under the bilirubin lights. His test came back improved this morning so we go back on Monday and should be able to return the lights then.
Napping with Mom after an evening meal.
The first night went alright. I took the first night so Chrystal could get some rest and try to heal up. We all 3 fell asleep on the couch and we moved him to the crib with the lights around 12:30 this morning. That lasted for a hot 30 mins. He decided to scream bloody murder so I took him down stairs to the couch and recreated the above scene with him myself for 4 hours.

Well your new life has begun. You will spend the next several months in some sort of fog. There will be days of total exhaustion, times that the days blend together, times when you wonder where those old days of laying in bed and watching old movies and football games went. But then you will turn around and see Spencer smile and you will be taken to this place, now. This place where you have a different relationship with each other, a place where you are now complete, you are one. You have experienced the wonderment that comes with a new baby. You will now wonder what you did before him, you will not be able to remember a time without him. You have joined a club of people who took one look at their newborn and knew the secret. Welcome to our club.
