Going home!

Our final night in the hospital was a doozie. Archer was finally allowed to room in with me! I was very excited to be able to finally spend quality time with our little man. He was hooked up to a pulse ox, which measures his O2 levels and his heart rate. This is what made the evening challenging. Every time the little man moved, the monitor alarmed. This went on ALL NIGHT LONG. GeeMa, (Nicks wonderful angel mommy) stayed with us for the last night in the hospital...and I am not sure she will ever forgive or forget that night. It seemed as though every time all of us would fall asleep, the alarm would go off. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE. A nightmare that was capped off the next morning after we found out that they did not even look at the report from the monitor and that it was really unnecessary for the little man to be released the next day. After a very long night and a sleepy morning...then what seemed like an ETERNITY later...the Disney family finally made it back home. Both Archer and mommy received a clean bill of health and sent on our way home. Many thanks go to Kelsey, Jared and Piper Jones for allowing us to borrow their mazda to get home in. It made for a much easier ride for me. The mazda has four doors, and I did not have to climb into it as I would have the Explorer or the Bronco. Now, the actual ride home itself was QUITE painful but we made it home all in one piece. We did discover that Archer does not like to be buckled into his car seat. In fact, he hates it. The only upside to this is that as soon as he is picked up in his seat and feels movement, he quiets right down. We are so glad to be home and finally start a somewhat normal schedule / life with our new baby boy. We also found out that Jeff, Nicks dad would be flying into town to meet his grandson. We look forward to his arrival later this afternoon. Then, tomorrow Tia Melissa will come to visit...after that Aunt Sarah and GeeMa come back for Easter and then finally Aunt Lynn and Lori Leigh will be here to visit. We are so blessed to have so much family coming into town!
