Two weeks

Well he is here! I mean really truly here!! Baby Henson was born on October 7th at 9:40 pm. I will eventually share his birth story but my head is still reeling from the past two weeks.

After he was born, we left the hospital and settled into our new life with the little Hen. The first few days home were absolute bliss as Pat and I beamed and happily said goodbye to any sort of sleep schedule.

Then Henson got sick. It is something we are all still recovering from and the extra days spent back at the hospital were by far the scariest days of my life. I would write more but I am not really ready to tackle such a huge and confusing story just yet. When you go through such an out of body experience it takes a while for the dust to settle and to gain some perspective. I still cannot believe we went through such a storm but I know that it has made our family stronger then ever. 

This is a time to look forward. Our son gave us a huge scare and is now powering on. His immune system has rallied and he is growing stronger everyday. Pat and I continue to look at each other in bewilderment...did we just go through that? But everyday things get better and although we still aren't sleeping it is because our beautiful boy needs us. Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate.
