So I am really nervous about bringing Parker home and it has really caused me to reflect on why. I am nervous for lack of sleep, feeding, meds, being on my own, I'm still sick, therapies... But I know we will be just fine. Darrell keeps assuring me it will be just like bringing home a newborn.
There is so much, but I think I am most nervous to face the world again. I've been pretty selective about what pictures I post or what I say and we've been in our own little world at the hospital. After Friday I won't be.
I just want to say how thankful I have been for all of you wonderful friends on Facebook. It has made such a difference to be able to update all at once and have soooooooo much support. Thank you. It has meant the world to us.
JoLynn Greenwood We love your family and are cheering for you all as you bring sweet little Parker home!!

Cassie Smith You have angels round about you to bear you up. I so wish I lived closer. As I have thought about you bringing Parker back home this week I keep thinking about this talk by Elder Holland. https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search...

Andrea Moore Roberts It's a weird adjustment. We spent a total of 5 1/2 months in the hospital. I actually felt like my sleep improved a ton- even though I was getting way less. I hope that's the same for you. We just visited the NICU and it was a flash back as soon as I heard another baby alarming. Please reach out for help. Take everyone up on their meal offers. It was soooooo nice to not have to worry about cooking.

Annette Swenson dear Ashley you are such a good organizer and planner. As with a newborn, be careful not to over plan. And as you have said, you and Parker should have Mandatory naps. Love you

Tiffany A. Winkel Nutter I'm not going to try to pretend what it's like to be anticipating this transition, but if the resilience you've shown in adjusting to things since the initial change is any indication, you'll be fine!
