There’s no place like home

June 18, 2021

Today, I’m grateful for: Home 🤍

I got released from the hospital today! After a looooooong week of living in the maternity ward, visiting my son drug-deal-style in the inferno of a parking lot, and sampling pretty much everything off of the Gateway Market menu, I am finally home with my feet up and my heart full.

I am so grateful to be back in the comfort of our home with my boys. Even though things look a little different right now, you cannot underestimate the value of the simple comforts of home.

Albeit, as happy as I am to be home, I am equally anxious to be away from the safety and support of the hospital. Being at home means normalcy and fulfillment for my son. But being at the hospital means safety for my daughter. Being at home means we get to embrace these last few weeks as a family of three. But being at the hospital means continued monitoring that offers peace of mind that our sweet girl is safe and healthy.

As with many moments in this pregnancy, I feel both grateful and sad, joyful and anxious, comforted and scared all at the same time. But as we work to wade into yet another new normal, I am hyper-focused on the end game: To make it safely to August 2nd, our sweet baby girl’s delivery date. And to remember that this too shall pass.
