Our first days together were at St. Luke's hospital on the 5th Floor. They wheeled me down and put us in a comfortable room equipped with an adjustable bed for me, and a convertable bed for Papi. The first grandparent to arrive was Abuelo Papu, and then he went to go and pick up Mimi and Doodle from the airport. Abuela Cuckoo arrived from Venezuela at around 5pm. Everyone loved you more than you know, Scarlett. There were tears of hapiness and so much joy as they each embraced you for the first time. We spent happy days together in the hospital where we indulged in your warm snuggles, some quesadillas, and a bit of hidden wine. Our nights felt stressful because I didn't always know how to help you when you cried. I wanted to serve you, to assuage and love you, but sometimes I simply did not know what to do to make you happy. We all learned more about one another with each passing day.
