Bringing Maverick home

So today is the last day for Amy, Maverick, and I at the hospital it's been a long week. We're all ready to go home. Correction Maverick and I are, I think Amy could hang out a few more days. She's still really sore. It's been a tough weak on her. Maverick slept better last night which is great. It allowed us to get a little bit more sleep ourselves. I'm really looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again. It's been really fun watching rocky come to the hospital and visit us here. He's so excited to have a baby brother. I was a little worried about how he was going to do with someone else getting moms attention but he's handling it really well. Last night grandma and I took him out to dinner and when it was time for them to go back home and for me to come to the hospital, I could tell that Rocky was ready to have us home. The bond between mother and son is already well established between Amy and Maverick . While we were out at dinner last night Amy decided she needed to take a shower and while she was in the shower the nurses decided to give Maverick bath. Maverick didn't like having somebody else care for him and he was inconsolable. As soon as Amy was done with her shower and picked Maverick back up, he immediately calmed down. The same thing happened to me later that night when he was done feeding and Amy asked me to burp him. The one thing in the world that makes Maverick happier than anything else is spending time with his mother. It's been amazing for me to watch and Amy go through the process giving birth to a child via C-section a 2nd time. There's been a few times where I could tell that the pain was really getting to her and it was hard to watch. I definitely think that there are some procedures here at this hospital that can be improved upon but even under the best circumstances a c-section is a huge sacrifice. I know there's going to be no way for Maverick to remember everything that we've been through this week so I guess it's up to me to make sure that he knows what a sacrifice his mother went through to get him here. I think I've taken for granted this sacrifice given by my own mother many times in my life. This will be one of my responsibility as a father; to make sure my children remember the sacrifices their Mother made and makes for them. My heart aches for people that don't have a great Mother. Watching the sacrifice that Amy has given over the last few days to bring Maverick into the world makes me reflect on what I should sacrifice as his Father. What will my contributions be? I've been told once that sacrifice is giving up something good to get something better. All I know is that watching Amy care for Maverick inspires me to want to be better. Only a few more hours and we get to take Maverick home.  I will do my best to always make sure that my children feel that they have a home. A place where they feel safe, loved, and where they belong.
