Yesterday, Parker was discharged from the hospital and my family was reunited. It was one of the happiest days of my life. I love being the mom of two beautiful and amazing little boys and the wife to an incredible man. Our first night together at home went very smoothly. Ryan slept most of the night, Jackson slept the whole night, and Parker and I only woke up for feedings and then went right back to sleep. I couldn't have asked for anything better!
Jackson is still very unsure about Parker; in fact, I'm not sure he notices Parker is around until Parker cries. When that happens, Jackson just laughs. Tonight, Parker was really letting out some wails (for all of a minute tops) but Jackson just sat on the bed and stared at him. Earlier, Jackson scratched (very mildly) the top of Parker's head when he reached out to pet him and steal his hat. Parker didn't mind; instead, he just watched Jackson intently. It's amazing to see the two of them together. Jackson isn't quite old enough to really understand what is going on (or at least to interact with Parker), but it is still pretty incredible.
Today was my baby shower. It was a lot of fun and a wonderful experience to just hang out with people who care about us. Jackson got a new truck with lots of toys inside. He had a blast playing with it!
Tomorrow is a busy day: swim class at 9, library story-time at 10:30, hopefully a ped appt for Parker, and lots of cleaning. Ryan is taking the week off of work to spend with us. I'm very excited! :)
With love,
Anna
