Best Superbowl EVER

There was a football game today? I heard either the last minutes or the highlights reel while I walked to the nurse’s station and remembered it was both Sunday and the day of the big game. I saw a few friends had posted bulletins about the game but I didn’t mind missing it. It was a busy week and we have the best reason to ignore TV – Adrian awake and looking around.

Adrian spent the whole day with us. He did nap in the nursery while mom napped in her room, but was with us for hugs, snuggles, feeding, changes and meeting the family. Actually he slept (or pretended to sleep, daddy’s special talent) during most of the visits and woke up ready to eat and wiggle after everyone left. With his big bright eyes looking around who needed TV?

Our baby is out of the NICU care, loves being snuggled by his parents, and is as healthy as he is adorable. Out of habit I walked over to hug Sara and wrapped my hands around her stomach and realized… no more tummy kicks! We’ve been praying for and waiting for him since last May, no wonder it feels like he’s been with us more than 45 hours. (Seriously, not even two whole days?!)

When he looks up into my eyes… everything stops. Only his mommy could do that up till now… and I have no words for the pride, awe, joy and love he stirs in our hearts.
