Day 32 - Still Christmas at our house

Tristan had another good night and his apnea monitor didn't go off at all. He is starting to sleep more at night time and stay awake more during the day time, although there are still nights, like 4-6 am last night, that he is VERY ALERT and cries until I pick him up and then he just lays there quietly in my arms looking up at me. Now those moments are priceless and ones I wish would never end, this brings tears to my eyes every time! The excitement for today? Not much really. We spent most of the day taking down all of the Christmas decorations except the tree. Christmas has always been our favorite time of year so we don't take our decorations down until the first Sat. of January but we're 2 days from Sat. and I'm not ready yet. When we found out we were pregnant in April we called Tristan our "Christmas baby"(Due date was Dec. 20th) and then once we found out he had Trisomy 18 we said that, if he made it, Tristan would be our "Christmas miracle", well he did make it to December 3rd so he was definitely our Christmas miracle and whats better than that is we were able to celebrate Tristan's 1st Christmas with him, something we never expected to be doing! So this is, by far, the most precious Christmas we've ever had and a Christmas we will never forget so I'm just not ready for the season to end plus I want to keep taking pictures with Tristan beside the tree, the tree we decorated with hopes and dreams of bringing our miracle baby home! So, even though the Valentine decorations, Easter decorations and bathing suits are already in the stores, it's still Christmas at our house and honestly don't know when we will take it down. Oh well, who says Christmas has to be over on December 25th right? Please pray for Tristan's continued strength and please pray for us as we face a new day tomorrow.
