Sadie!
Today is Halloween. It is a silly excuse for a holiday that happens once a year when boys and girls dress up in costumes and eat a lot of candy. Your mom loves it! She is already talking about how great it is going to be when we can take you "trick or treat"-ing next year.
This year, though, we are celebrating more than Halloween. Your doctors are impressed with how well you are learning to eat and say you could come home within a few days. Your mom and I are so excited!
Today when we came to see you in the new nursery, you were asleep on your belly with your behind sticking up in the air. This is particularly hilarious because you used to sleep like that when you were inside your mom. She would often grab my hand and show me a hard spot near her ribs which she was convinced was your little rump. "Sadie is gonna stick her bum up in the air when she comes out," she used to say. Turns out she was right!
Your Grandpa E. came to see you today, too. He hadn't seen you in awhile because he has been a little sick. But today he spent lots of time playing with you.
I am sorry that when we come to visit, we keep waking you up when you are trying to sleep. We won't do that when you are at home. It is just that we are so excited to see you better. We can't bear not to touch you now that we are finally allowed.
After we visited you and I finished work at my job for the day, your mom and I went to watch your Uncle Joel play drums with one of his bands at an Amphitheater. It was a fun time, but your mom and I both felt a little old among all of the young teenage emo kids in gory costumes. (Don't worry about what an "emo kid" is. By the time you are old enough to care, they will be extinct!)
Keep snacking and in a few days we'll all be back together for good!
Can't wait until then!
Happy Halloween.
- Dad
