Meet Emily's and my new roommate. He's almost always sleeping but when he's awake he's taking everything in - never thought seeing your newborn simply opening his eyes and maybe looking your direction would be something that would make a Daddy this happy...but it does. I loved watching Kylie sleep and I can't imagine anything more beautiful than getting to watch Cael do the same. I'm a usually a keep-it-all-in kind of guy but there are times when this 5lb 16oz, red-haired monkey brings me to the verge of crying (either from happiness or uncertainty). But with an end in sight I have to be grateful for the nurses and doctors who have managed to give us answers with confidence and reassured us with sincerity. I know it's cliche to say but having the caliber of doctors (and NICU-nurses) at the Mayo Clinic so close has been a blessing - neither Emily nor I have ever felt Cael wasn't in the most capable of hands.
