Baby hospital bracelet

I keep this in my wallet, I put it into the spot where my ID should go so that I can see it through the plastic window.  It went in when I was waiting to leave the hospital with him.  My son was a much longed for baby and even though I went through the 9 months of carrying him it was still wonderfully shocking the moment they place your baby into your arms.  Because Loki came early he was taken away to the Neonatal unit and while I was sitting with him his baby tag kept falling off as he was so tiny.  This was the first piece of writing that said I had a baby boy that I saw, and because I was still in a kind of daze I kept reading and re-reading it as though to confirm that it was really real.
