This week marked my last few Doctor’s appointments, and the melancholy sadness has already set in… On Wednesday, I had my final check-up with my primary Doctor, and when I made it home, I was greeted at the door by two little faces. Dylan ran up to me and hugged my leg as tight as he could, and said, “mommy gone”. I picked him up, and hugged him as tight as I could, and told him that “mommy will always come back to Dylan.”
The same carried on for Thade, the next evening. It was bedtime, and stories were being read, and it had been a long day… Neither one of the boy’s would go to sleep, and Thade was sobbing… I went in to sit at his bed-side and see what the tears were about, and he asked me “will I be left by myself?” “Of course not,” I told him… “But what if you don’t come back after surgery?” So I told him, “I have 2 amazing Doctors and one wonderful Nurse and they are all going to take great care of me. Mommy will always come back to Thade, no matter what.” I handed him my teddy bear from when I was a child, and prayed that he would find some comfort…
Even though it will only be for a few days, I will miss them more than they will ever know…
oh Nicole that is so sad!! Poor kiddos, and poor mommy! Hang in there, soon you will be relaxing at home with a new little baby girl and two wonderful boys playing at your feet! It will all be worth it, I promise!
That is so sweet. They’ll be fine and you can talk to them on the phone. They’re both going to be big brothers now! I am so excited for you-a baby girl!
Sending prayers and big hugs, Mimi
AWWWW! God love there little souls! Make sure they have a picture of Mommy for bed each night too…….
Hugs and prayers!!!!
That is just too sweet Nicole! What an exciting time for you all! Can’t wait to see the new little one…. Big hugs to everyone 🙂
Thanks Heather! It has been a really tough week. Both of the kiddos are stressing out, and Mom and Dad are too. I am already looking forward to being home and out of the hospital, and I haven’t even checked in yet. I just hope that the boy’s feel happier soon…
Thanks Mimi! Dylan is so excited to become a big brother, and no longer be the baby in the family. I will miss them like crazy though, and worry while I’m in the hospital. James is taking off work, and will be checking in on the boy’s as often as he can, I hope that helps out a little with their stresses.
Thanks Marva! It has been a week filled with happy and sad moments, and a lot of worry from all of us. We are getting closer and closer to the surgery date, and the kiddos are just as stressed as James and I are. I am looking forward to coming home and it being just the 5 of us 🙂
Thanks Ellie! We are excited for the new arrival, and worrying all at the same time. My surgery is coming up soon, and I’m getting really nervous… I know that the kiddos are picking up on all of my anxiety too. The boys are anxious for their little Sister to arrive, and Mom and Dad to come home too.
