i realize i'm not Facebook friends with some of you so I wanted to post this here too:
I admit that I was sitting around feeling a little bummed out about having to leave the Dictator and go back to work. I think that finally having him home after being in the hospital for so long and seeing him growing and thriving really made me want to stick around to watch him do even more. I hate the idea of coming home to hear about what i missed out on during the day and for awhile i really let the whole thing get me down... and then I realized how lucky I was. Thanks to so many of you and the donations, and the offers to help, and the gifts, and the kind words of support, and everything else that you didn't have to do, I was able to work part time while he was in the hospital so that i could visit multiple times every day. I was able to stay home with him for 16 weeks when he came home and help him to eat, grow and develop into this talkative, cute kid that I keep forcing photos and videos of on you. I cannot begin to tell you how fortunate Me, Brian and the Dictator are to have such supportive people in our corner. As I return back to work I've been looking for ways to help other parents that find themselves in situations like ours. By making time to volunteer at the NICU I hope that I can pass along some of the blessings that we received. Thank you to everyone that made this journey easier. We truly appreciate it and we are using this experience to find ways to help others. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have 3.5 more days home alone to love up on this baby...
