Dear Max,
Tuesday, December 9, 2008
Wow! We feel like a million bucks today! We needed that sleep!!!! This morning your Grandma came back to the hospital and brought breakfast for everyone. Well – except for you – you’re on a diet of 2 ounces of formula! We worked with you all morning to try to encourage more consistent eating! Maria – one of the ladies your daddy works with came to the hospital to meet you – and then your mommies boss and co-workers came too, Jennifer Abdinoor, Shannon Coldon and Kristi Sharrer. They were all so excited to see you – everyone has been eagerly awaiting your arrival with us. They were overwhelmed by you and just cried and cried with us!
You started getting better at eating by the early afternoon and it looked like the doctors were ready to release you. The process of discharging started about 3:00 pm and we didn’t actually leave the hospital until 8:30 pm. We dressed you in the cute outfit your dad and grandma picked out the day before at the store – buckled you into your car seat and walked out of the hospital. Your daddy was caring your car seat – I was caring your bag and I will never get the image out of my mind – of your proud daddy taking his son home! Of course I rode in the back on the ride home – checking every 5 seconds to be sure you were still breathing!
When we arrived home – the front yard had 2 signs welcoming you! It’s a Boy! Max Charles Trenholm
And we came in the house to balloons and more balloons! Everyone had come to give you a warm welcome! We got you home put the car seat up on the kitchen table and looked at each other and said – “k- now what?”
We were all so tired that we fed you and then decided to go to bed. Patti had brought over a bassinet so you had a place to sleep – and a few blankets to make it more comfortable for you.
I love reading about your first few days with Max. It is so awesome to hear about and I can't wait to meet him next time we are up that way!!!
