Zoe is 2 months old today!! And so how are we celebrating? Jason and I are going to take off to Seattle for the day to go watch the Seahawks. I'm still not sure how I feel about this. I am very excited about spending the day just Jason and I, but sad about leaving Zoe. I haven't been more than 15 minutes away from the hospital for more than 3 hours in the whole 2 months. The nurses all think it's a good idea to get away for a bit as does my family, I just felt guilty. They keep telling me I have the best babysitters in the world (and the most expensive). Jason and I stopped by to see Zoe around 6 AM before we left, thank goodness she was asleep or I don't know if I could have left.
We had to swing past our house to pick up the tickets so we were able to stop and see my parents and brother and sister in law at the church before we caught the ferry. My nephews, Cruz, Max, and Bodie were so excited to see me, it was a surprise visit. They kept asking where Zoe was and gave me some great hugs. It was also great to see all the people at the church who have been praying for Zoe all along. It means so much to Jason and I.
We had a great time at the game, even though we lost, but were more than ready to come back to Portland and see Zoe. The weather was beautiful and it felt so good to get fresh air and sun for a while. She was going to have an ECHO today so we wanted to know what the results of that were. I manged to only call twice today in the 14 hours we were gone- I'm very proud of myself.
When we got back to the NICU around 8:00, Zoe was crying a bit because the nurses were doing her usual cares and feedings, when she saw us she immediatley stopped crying and her eyes got so big. She just snuggled up with Jason and was so happy. We only stayed at the NICU until about 10:00 because we have to be over here early tomorrow for and infant CPR class.
