Today

Today is a big day.

Today we are getting new carpet installed in both the bedrooms. Yesterday morning Tycen and I emptied out our bedroom into the rest of our house … aka our house just seemed to get a lot smaller with our bedroom furniture spread through out it. Then my sister came over and helped me pull the carpet and then while I played with her children she pulled the padding and removed the carpet strips (Thanks Heather!). This afternoon carpet people are coming to install it – yeah!

Today we plan to see the man in brown – (the UPS guy). He is bringing us our car seat and stroller that we ordered on-line! We expect to see him this afternoon or early evening…I’m praying we see him this morning.

Today we also plan to see the Fed-X guy, who will be bring the kangaroo pouch sling thingy that we ordered on-line.

Today we find out if Levi comes home today. Are we ready? No, not really. Besides the house being in disordered I realized last night, as I was holding my adorable sleeping son, that we haven’t gotten him any sheets for his bed. We only have one package of diapers and a very small package of wipes that we got from the hospital. But, are we excited about the possibility of our son being home as early as today? You bet!

We’ve shared with the nurses about our house project and the status of the car seat and they shared our dilemma with the doctor but he said that the car seat better get here otherwise we might be walking our son home. I will go in this morning and see how Levi did last night and see what the doctor says. If he says he can go home tonight then we have to wait for the car seat to arrive. When we get the car seat we will take it to the hospital and the car seat test will begin. They will see if Levi fits in the car seat properly (which we hope he does – we saw many families go through many different car seats before they were able to find one that would fit their tiny child). Then they will have Levi sit in the car seat for 90 minutes and see if he can handle sitting up for that long of time and remember to breathe and keep his heart rate under control. We are very excited!! And even if he doesn’t come home today, we know that the time is almost here where little Levi will soon be home!

Today is a big day.

Yay Levi! Yay Stafford Family! What a big day! We'll be praying that everything goes smoothly.. but you might want to get some sheets and diapers to help that along, too. :)

We are so excited for you guys!! We are hoping it'll work out for us to see the 3 of you when we come through SEA-TAC next month, but we understand if it won't work out.
Give Levi a kiss for us.
