This Valentine’s Day…

Posted in Life @ The Grand. — 2 Comment(s)

My heart is full, more than I ever thought was possible, and I’m pretty sure it’s about to burst. Any minute.

My littlest Valentine is fifteen days old, weighs in at 4 pounds 7 ounces, and has been eating like a champ. We hope to have him home in a week or so.

My wonderful husband made me a mix CD. How he had time with everything going on is beyond me, but it’s just perfect--romance old school style. (And just like Christmas and his recent birthday, I dropped the ball. I will have to make it up to him soon.) We’ll spend a cozy evening in the NICU--nowhere else we’d rather be right now.

And! I got my wedding ring on my (still slightly swollen) finger for the first time in months. All is right with the world.

You Know You’ve Been In The Hospital Too Long…

Cute coat rack?

...when you look at your IV stand and think, “Gee, that would make a cute coat rack.”

The Morehead family has been doing fine, all three of us. Simon will likely stay in the NICU for awhile, but he’s getting stronger every day. They’ve had him on some breathing help, including a ventilator, due to some minor respiratory issues—but he’s slowly getting weaned off of that and has been responding really well. He’s also got a slight case of jaundice, so he’ll be under the lights for a little while to clear that up.

My blood pressure and heartrate have still been a little spotty over the past day or two, but I’m on a new, more aggressive drug that has been having some good effects. Jason and I are still planning to come home on Sunday sans Simon. Which will be hard, but we know that the NICU is the best possible place for him. And of course, we’ll be seeing him every day that he’s there.

Thanks again for all of your prayers and thoughts. It’s been a bumpy three weeks or so, but so worth it. We can’t wait to bring Simon home and share him with all of you.
