[blparent] he's coming home!

[Jessica Lucken]

Leslie, congrats on Michael coming home so soon!  I think most of the people
on this list gave the advice I would give, but the one thing I'll add is,
don't feel like you have to put him in fancy several piece outfits at this
stage.  Once piece pagamas with feet so you don't have to worry about socks
are just fine, that's what Owen wears at this point.  Good luck, and you'll
do great with the diapering too, just watach out for pee, it happens to all
of us! :)

Hi all.  Thanks to all who responded about my sleep issue question.  I'm
feeling more confident at the moment so that's good.  So Michael's coming
home this evening after Andy gets off work!  I can't believe it!  In a way,
I'm relieved because I won't have the nurses watching over me like hawks.  I
did, however, get my favorite nurse at the hospital today and she stood back
and let me do my thing which was also good. I did another diaper change
independently and also put him in one of his new outfits independently.
We'll have to get some premie outfits for him because the ones I have are
still too big on him.  I'm also feeling every other kind of feeling in the
book from excitement to nervousness to simply anticipation of the future.
I'm actually in shock that he's coming home but am also looking forward to
it as well.  His room looks really nice too.  Well, guess I'll go enjoy my
last few hours of being by myself around here. Again, I appreciate all the
support and look forward to sharing more mommy/Michael adventures on the
list.

Leslie
