So much has happened in the past few weeks, I can't even begin to catch my breath. I've been aching to write for some time, but circumstances just haven't allowed enough time.
Our baby has arrived. In the very early morning of June 25th, my water broke, not even four days after P. and I moved into our New City apartment. We hadn't even finished unpacking boxes. D. was delivered by c-section some few hours later, weighing in at 4 pounds and 11 ounces of cuteness. Because he was early and small, they've kept him at the hospital all this time and P. and I have been through an emotional rollercoaster that all parents of "special care" kids must. As D's glucose levels fell and rose, so have our moods. We've spent more nights at the hospital now than we've spent at home, and that might continue a few more days. We finally seem to be on an upswing that will last, and hopefully we'll be able to bring the baby home by Tuesday. Cross your fingers for us.
(Isn't he cute? P. and I don't think we've ever seen anyone so beautiful. Everytime he looks up at me with smiley eyes, I think my heart will burst.)

Congratulations!! He's such a cutie!
*Fingers crossed for you*
Congratulations!! I hope he comes home with you soon!
Oh, he's gorgeous -- congratulations! We went through this rollercoaster with Ess, too; she was just two ounces more than D at birth and spent about the same time in the hospital. And right now she is happily snoozing on her dad's chest. I wish the same happiness and contentment for you and P.
Oh, and a word of assvice: As tough as it is to be away from him, take advantage of the last few nights he's in the hospital to get as much sleep as you can. We tried to do that, and I think it made a big difference in our mental state when Ess came home.
Congrats again!
Congratulations! He's beautiful.
I agree with mc: sleep as much as you can now. My little guy is 10 months old, and we're still sleep-deprived. . .
Hopefully D. will be home soon!
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy!
Oh! What a little love of a baby!
Congratulations, and my fingers are most definitely crossed for you that he comes home soon!

Congratulations! he's adorable!
He's beautiful! Congratulations.
Congratulations!
To be a upright charitable being is to from a amiable of openness to the in the seventh heaven, an cleverness to group undeterminable things beyond your own restrain, that can lead you to be shattered in very exceptionally circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably weighty relating to the fettle of the honest life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a sparkler, something rather feeble, but whose mere item attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
