Colt meeting Owen

We're all still here! All doing well! I'm feeling much better, just sore and achy but I know it's only temporary. As far as we know, we're headed home today so it will be nice to go home.

Last night was the moment John and I had been waiting for - the brothers meeting each other for the first time! Colt was SO tired, plus there were a lot of people so he was a little whiny and trying to show off. But he had his moments. He was very interested in touching Owen's hands and his face, and also liked burying his head in Owen's side like one of his stuffed animals. When Owen cried, you could tell he was concerned.

The best part of the night was when my mom and stepdad were getting ready to leave. I finally was able to get out of bed and finally Colt wrapped his arms around my neck (me being in the bed was scary to him, I think). He wouldn't let me go, and reached out and grabbed Owen's little hand, too. What a mommy I felt like then!

We'll be needing a lot of help the next few days while we get used to being a family of 4. But we'll get there. We are so blessed and so thankful God has given us these two beautiful boys to raise. More updates and pictures to come, especially for the grandparents who can't see him just yet! Love you all!
