This will be a great day

Jake,
Your Magah says this is going to be a great day. I know she is right, here's why:

Today you get to go home for the first time! You'll get to meet your K9 brothers, Rigli and Chase. You're mom is excited to show you your closet full of hip clothes and all of your fun stuffed animals.

So last night you had a huge appetite. You were eating every two hours at least, and when you weren't eating you were looking around for food.

We got your bilirubin results back from your test last night. You were at 7.9, which is low to intermediate risk. This just means more tests so that we can stay on top of the jaundice risk, and means you'll spend some time near the window today to get some rays.

Your parents are handling the lack of sleep pretty differently. Your mom is becoming more beautiful and angelic with each missed wink. She was up with you nearly all night and meanwhile I was zonked out and useless on the fold-out couch.

Oh I keep meaning to tell you about how strong you are. When you first arrived and the nurse was cleaning you off on a table in the delivery room, she said "wow, he's got quite a death-grip." you love to hold a finger in your hand and squeeze it really tight. You are going to be quite an arm-wrestler.

Love you
Dad
