Long Day

Today was such a long, crazy, stressfull day, but in the end a very good day!  We had a very long consult with the new GI doctor in DC this morning (very early this morning) which was emotionally and mentally draining, but so incredibly helpful and worth all of the work; a fantastic speech therapy appointment that left me with so much to think about and like this morning's appointment, left me with TONS of questions for our nephrologist and nutritionist; had to pull the trigger and buy Stephen a new car seat since he's outgrown his infant car seat and needed to get it before we attempt our first trip to the beach this week  (those darn car seats are crazy expensive!!!); and met up with one of Stephen's NICU nurses, Jess, for happy hour which was the perfect ending to a long day!  You might remember, Jess and I actually went to high school together and she was working in the NICU the night Stephen was born and she became one of Stephen's primary nurses.  I had no idea that Jess lived in Virginia, let alone lives right down the street from me and was a nurse at Fairfax hospital! Such a small world!!  So it was such an amazing and welcome surpirse to find out she was there the night Stephen was first admitted to the NICU. 

I have so much to share about our appointment today with Dr. Kerzner and Stephen's speech therapist, but to be completely honest, I'm too lazy to do it tonight.  So....I'm going to pack it up for the night and work on getting a post up tomorrow.  :)

Have a good night!!!
