And the LIGHT APPEARS at last!

That light at the end of the tunnel has arrived at last, and it came suddenly!!!

I was really geared up and preparing for Cleo to come home in another week or so.
Surprise! I go in on Wednesday and they tell me she is going to be discharged by Monday or Tuesday.
Then  I go in Thursday morning and they tell me she will  be discharged on Sunday.....What?
I am in SHOCK!! It is an describable surreal feeling. My head began swimming almost immediately.

Had they just said what I think they said, did I understand them correctly? Or is this just some dream and I will wake up and be waking up another day just to hear the same old news, or no news.

The reality of this happening hit me on my Drive home from Salt lake as I was driving home alone, with my thoughts. I began crying and laughing with joy and a release of pain all came spilling out of me all at once, I was driving so I needed to be careful.

After all of of this- it seems to be coming to end, Yeah, talk about a roller coaster. This is the part where you climb to the top and your heart just starts pounding and you kinda hold your breath and then there is that huge drop where you just scream with delight and terror as you hurdle with intense speed down that huge slope. CRAZY!! That is my favorite part, the butterflies and stress just fly out. You put your arms up and just scream. That is about how I feel right now.

I woke up with a smile on my face and a new energy.
Now, I feel that extra push to get the things done that just seemed like a heavy burden because all I wanted was my baby. NOW, she is coming and I have a TON to do! What am I doing here blogging like I have all the time in the world! Yikes!

I will have to give more detail about her discharge when I have crossed a few things off my list.
But for now I will have to get busy.

I did want to post a picture they took of her dressed as  HULA GIRL. I can't believe how stinkin' cute they turned out.

Doesn't that just make you smile!!
