Christmas is a GREAT Day

Everybody keeps saying Merry Christmas.... Merry Christmas...and I didn't understand why it was supposed to be so Merry. But now I do!!!

Yesterday was Christmas, and Mummy & Daddy were with me in the NICU. We were having a good time, cuz they stayed with me Christmas eve too and took care of me all afternoon and night. It was fantastic! Then just when Mummy & Daddy thought I would come home with them on Monday or Tuesday everything changed. The nurses made calls and next thing you know I was going home with my Mummy & Daddy right there on Christmas day. Mummy said it was the only thing she truly wanted for Christmas. I couldn't believe I was leaving WITH them this time!!! WOW

Mummy & Daddy packed up all my stuff, and Melissa and Melody helped them get everything out to the car. Mummy kept crying when she was saying goodbye, but I'm pretty sure she was happy not sad. She thanked Melissa for being there when I was born, for helping save me, and for giving her little boy to her. I love my Mummy! Daddy was so thankful too, and he said he owed a lifetime debt to then for saving my little life. I love my Daddy too!

My first night home was a little rough, but we all tried our best and did OK. Today was much better, and I had a lot of company! More than I have ever seen in one place!!! I slept in my swing a lot, and my cousin Christopher held me for a little bit. Mummy & Daddy said I was a little angel, and everybody was gushing about how cute I am. (batting long curling lashes)

I hope everybody at the Elliot NICU knows how much I love them too. They were so good to me, and they made me all OK to come home with my Mummy & Daddy, and Bruin, Bucky and Cellar too. I miss hearing them and seeing them today, but Mummy & Daddy promise I will see them again. I hope so.

It's different here... very quite. But I like it so far. I hope you will keep checking my site so that you can know about how big I can grow. FYI - I am nearly 1/2 way to Superman size. ;-)

Love you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
