All in Due Time :

Going Home

The day they brought the baby home was overwhelming because they did not have time before he was born to set up the nursery, or even have a baby shower. They had to buy everything, crib, baby seat and other supplies, on the same day they brought him home.

Stacie stayed with her mom for the first week so Scott could work on their house. They had bought a new house just down the street, so it was easy for him to go back and forth. Because Stacie was in the hospital long before they expected her to be, they never had a chance to really get the nursery ready in their new house. While Stacie stayed at her mom’s, Scott did the renovation and painting for the nursery.

Scott remembers how Stacie got very sick a few days after the baby was born, which was another reason she stayed in the hospital so long. She had a very high fever, 104-105 degrees. Stacie says she felt sick just a day or two after the baby was born. Stacie does an aside where she tells us that the baby’s name is Addison. She also explains how his name sign is reminiscent of the sign for PROUD. They chose that name sign deliberately because they are so proud of him. He is a miracle. Stacie then goes back to explain how her fever spiked and she got very sick. She was shaky and went from sweating to chills. The doctors did all kinds of tests to try to figure out what was wrong including a CAT scan. They finally called in a specialist who diagnosed a uterine infection. It was a terrible week. Stacie then thanks Scott for reminding her to tell that part of the story.

Scott tells how protective Stacie was of the baby when she first got home. He explains that she was afraid their cat might bite Addison, even though the cat was very easygoing and not a threat at all.

The baby is doing very well. He’s been sick a couple of times, but overall is very healthy. Scott repeats that he’s very proud of his son. He’s 20 months old now. He’s actually over the top on the growth charts – a real miracle baby. Stacie also says again how proud she is of their son.
