Homecoming Dance

Tomorrow we're hosting a homecoming dance. Logan is set to come home which calls for music and dancing! I'm really not sure how I feel, to be quite honest. Of course, I'm so excited that I want to jump out of my skin, but I'd be lieing (how am I supposed to spell that??) if I said I didn't have any reservations. Its kind of surreal after so many weeks of visiting him in the NICU (seven, in fact) and sharing him with so many people. I'm happy and scared and sad and excited all at once. The big day is finally here. I've had similar experiences before. . . getting married, graduating from medical school. . . one day I go to bed on a seemingly ordinary day, and the next I wake up with a completely new "status." Tonight I'm going to bed and when I wake up I'll be a full-fledged mommy! Its kind of like starting at square one after we were stuck on square zero for seven weeks. . . fifty days.

We're off on a new adventure. We'd like to sincerely thank each of you who have accompanied us on the beginning of this journey. Certainly, we're not out of the woods yet, but getting a healthy Logan home is a huge milestone. He'll be accompanied by a monitor that shrieks like a smoke detector, so we hope it stays quiet and is good to us. So please continue to hang in there with us, and if you think of it tomorrow, join us in our homecoming dance--wherever you are!
