Day 3

YAY! We finally get to leave the hospital today. At about 11AM, Colton and Michelle both got their official discharge papers. From there, we began our journey downstairs to the car and to make sure Josh had properly prepped the car seat for installation. Phew...another test we passed; maybe we are actually getting this parenthood thing under control!

After a very careful drive home, we arrived for the ultimate test we had been dreading/anticipating/talking about for the past 9 months...it was time for Chipper to meet Colton! With leash tightly gripped, Chipper was introduced to his little brother. After a few panic-stricken moments, Chipper finally settled into his routine of sniffing, kissing, and generally staring at Colton, while Colton slept through the whole thing.

While it was a shaky start, we are confident that the two boys will grow up to be best buddies and that we are very lucky to have our family of four.
