He has done so well this week and even though he still has one of his breathing episodes a day they are very minor and the doctor feels comfortable sending him home on a monitor knowing that this is something he should grow out of soon. So tomorrow morning we will get trained in CPR and then on how to use the monitor he will be on and bring him home!
It's been a tough few days running back and forth to the hospital twice a day for a few hours at a time to nurse and just visit with him. The nurses have been absolute angels and I don't know what we would have done without them. We plan to send them a huge bouquet of flowers to thank them next week.
I'm so excited to get our little guy home tomorrow so we can just spend all weekend staring and snuggling with him. My mom will also be coming to stay for the weekend to help. I've been feeling much better as well, still very sore but better.
Here are some of the pictures from this past week.

Hunter is adorable; im so glad you are getting to bring him home, hope everything goes well when you do get home, it must have been so hard having to go back and forward to the hospital.

Congratulations!!
Aw, so precious!
We were trained in First Aid/CPR while I was pregnant. It made Rob feel better prepared. He was the most nervous parent I've ever seen, but it was nice to have a refresher for me.
Enjoy your first moments at home - a nice mix of wonder and terror all rolled into one. :)
Love all the pics!
Oh my goodness, that "three generations" photo instantly made me tear up!
