Two Months Home

Madeline came home from the NICU two months ago. I really can’t believe she’s been home two months. I mean that in a good way. Since she’s been home, she’s gained almost three pounds, has grown a few inches, and has developed a ton of personality. In just over a week, she will have been home longer than she was in the NICU. That will really be a milestone day. Even with two months down, I sometimes find myself dialing the NICU, or driving my car towards the Medical Center. I still cringe when the phone rings and I expect to see UCLA on the caller ID. I wonder if that will ever go away.
