SURPRISE! Especially for us...

I talked to one of the docs yesterday and asked what goals they have for Summer to be able to come home. She told me Summer is doing very well and they feel she could go home as early as the end of the week! ...... What?! I suddenly feel very happy, but also very NOT ready to bring home our "new" baby... I was expecting the usual answer...we'll see how she does, she needs to be weaned from ____, we have to check with DR. ______, but no question, she is almost there. She IS due this coming Sat. Oct. 11th, so how appropriate we could bring her home then! And, hey, I already did the whole birth, recovery thing...now it's just looking forward to sleepless nights :)

I have a long list to do to prepare...we have to get trained how to work her IV lines, etc., and her room has been put off, among the other 50 things to organize around here. I guess this will be a very busy week for us!

We look forward to a welcome home baby celebration very soon!
