Ryan Passed his test and we are home.  Its so weird to have him home.  My mom and I sat at the kitchen table before taking him out of his car seat and just stared at him forever.  He’s so cute.  Yeah!! We are home. Finally!!  And to the Buttolph Family…thank you for dropping by with Ryan’s gift.  They outfits are adorable.  What a great surprise.  Thanks to all for your support.  I’ll update later.  But he’s home!!!!  That’s all that matters

Today is the big day!!!  And I’m a basket case.  I’m sweating and I have an upset stomach.  I should be used to this, eh?  And all I can do today is think of Jessica. I think having the monitor home and all brings back memories. I’m nervous too. Tom and Thomas went to Milwaukee today for the Cubs game.  Something that they have planned for 4 months for Thomas’s b-day.  Tom wanted to cancel but Thomas was looking forward to spending the day with his dad and Tom’s parents. He needs this.  So my mom took the day off of work to come with me.  Plus, its so hard to say goodbye to those wonderful nurses. You build such a relationship with them.  They snuggle with Ryan and fight over him.  You couldn’t ask for better care than that.  I think in years to come when Ryan is older I’m going to school to be a neonatal nurse.  Its something I have felt that was my calling. I’d pass with flying colors after all this.  Well, gotta fly…….gotta vacuum, dust, and wash the dog so everything is clean.  I’ll update later tonight……Thanks for all your messages
