We took home this little slice of heaven today. I'm always really emotional on the first day that we go home. I usually have my "moment" in the hospital, too, but this time has been very different because basically the whole time we were in the hospital I was really focused on managing my pain. I had very few moments where I got to really enjoy this miracle that just happened in our lives. Today as we headed home, I looked at her so tiny in her carseat and the tears started flowing. We came home to a quiet house because my wonderful mother-in-law took the kids for the night. At one point, I looked at Marcelo holding Camila and I just started bawling. She is such a little angel baby and my heart feels like it could burst. What a surprise this little girl was to our family. What an enormous blessing. I can't stop crying over it today.
Tomorrow the kids will come home and our family of 6 will be together. It will be interesting to see how they all react. As grateful as I am to have the much needed help right now, I'm also really anxious to go back to normal life and start this new chapter. For now, though, I will sleep.
