I wish I had known it was ok to be an emotional basket case. I felt like I needed to keep it together, but as soon as we go home with our precious little guy, the bottom dropped out. I wasn't prepared to feel that way. Having a baby is suppose to be joyful and exciting, and it is all those things, but then reality hits and you have this huge responsibility and this tiny bundle of Joy to rock your world. It's ok to be emotional and it's ok to have several meltdowns! :) I wish I had know that!
