countdown is set off, congregation! :)

we were officially trained today. for the emergency that everyone hopes will never come. collin will go home with a monitor, so much is certain. but a monitor does just that: monitoring. which means that upon an event we have to do something. and precisely this "something" is the point. in worst case this would be reanimation. until emergency personnel comes. not exactly a cake walk: here we are, practicing heart pressure massage on a baby dummy, dispelling the thought it could be our own child... luckily we have seen our share of havoc wreaked... everything's gonna be allright, right? :)

but the end is drawing near: monday. monday, the 11th of july, 2011, precisely 20 weeks, almost 5 months after the much-too-early birth... on this monday the dragon will - for the first time ever - ride a car, come home, into the room, into the cradle... for the first time hera, for the first time us, JUST us... door's open, bed's made... how often did i say this, and how diferent does it sound now!

time to recall you, the lot of you! simply everybody who has carried us here. i haven't and will never forget. and always remember: this aint the end, this is only just beginning! thank all of you! a great fragile moment, this, indeed! the light in the coming dark nights, for instance when the tooth fairy starts playing... :)

here's to monday!

Well done!
