Day 3 and we decided on his name. We were fairly sure about another name while he was in-utero but on meeting him and spending time with the little guy we both realized it just did not fit. Our baby is a wise old soul and a name we discussed in passing popped into my head and did not leave as it suited him so well -- our baby boy is a Calvin, no doubt about it a Calvin he is. Naming another being comes with a certain amount of responsibility and I hope we didn't make a bad decision... ...when he grows up he's as fond of his name as I am of mine (thanks dad!).
Day 3 also marked another important event -- the day we were discharged from the hospital and told we could go home!!!!! Once we got the news we packed and couldn't get out fast enough. Deb had been staying at our house the last two evenings and came to pick us up. We put Calvin in his car seat walked out of the hospital and breathed a several huge sighs of relief -- Calvin must have felt it too as he slept all the way home.
It was time to press the restart button and begin where we had intended to all along... ...the three of us at home getting to know each other.
