Short and simple- we held him. It was like holding him the first time after he was born but just a little bit sweeter in some ways. We each spent about 30 minutes rocking him, and he just stared deep into our eyes, even tried to talk to us a little. Each time we kissed him, he would arch an eyebrow or even crack half a smile.
Alex went back to the Ronald McDonald House and at 10:30, I went to say goodnight and the nurse let me sit there and rock him to sleep. Despite all the wires and chest tube, it felt almost normal. When his wound gets better and the tube comes out, he will get to sleep in his favorite position, chest to chest, looking up at us.
And I sat there tonight laughing that I married my half Chinese guy and there is this golden red haired child with big blue eyes and pink skin looking back at me. He is my hero, my own "Braveheart".
I LOVE that first picture of you and Liam, T! So glad you guys got to hold the little guy today. :) -Q.
ReplyDeleteBest pictures ever!! How sweet and happy he looks! Must've been a great feeling to hold him - it's so hard not to be able to for so long. Great job Liam, you're a tough little cookie!
