the week we brought theo home from the hospital was one of the most challenging times for me and ryan. we were dealing with a newborn, i was recovering from birth and it was one of the hottest junes on record. and to make things even worse, sully came down with a nasty virus. when he wasn't sleeping, he was crying or throwing up. it was TERRIBLE. ryan and sully were quarantined from the rest of the family to make sure no one else got sick. poor sullivan was already feeling a little slighted when theo came home and once he got sick i couldn't hold him or give him much attention at all.i can't remember the situation now, but ryan and i went out for a little bit and left my parents at home to watch sully, who was taking a nap. when we got home this is how we found sully and my mom. my mom said he woke up screaming mad and stumbled around the house yelling 'mama....! daddy....!' Eventually he collapsed into a heap on the floor and fell asleep.
at the time ryan and i told ourselves that someday we'd be telling people the story of when we brought theo home from the hospital and we would be laughing, but we aren't QUITE there yet.
