Casey was born at 3:15am. When we called my parents to share the good news, they were so excited! So excited, in fact, that my dad was already on the road driving up to meet Casey. Our plan had been for him to come stay with us for a few days to help with Will and have my husband’s mom fly home so get back to work. My dad was so excited that he couldn’t wait until morning to leave. Because Casey was also born via C-section, we would need to stay in the hospital for 3 additional nights. Our days consisted of holding, feeding, and cuddling with Casey as well as talking with his birthmother and many of her friends and family. We also got to spend the time with my mother-in-law and my father, who were both there helping out with Will.
We left the hospital and headed to Duluth to be near a good friend of ours. It was so nice to be able to spend more time with people we knew. It helped a lot to not feel so lonely. We spent the next week there in a beautiful cabin adjusting to our new life of being a family of 4.
When we were finally cleared through ICPC to come home, we eagerly got in our car and headed home. Again, we were greeted by tons of family and friends who wanted to meet our new addition. How blessed we are!!!
