And now we're home

Courtney, 30 minutes or so old and very unhappy!!

Sleeping Beauty

We finally got home from the hospital on Sunday afternoon. We were set and ready to go around noon but the OB was MIA and phoned in our release around 3. Needless to say, we'd been sitting around for so long, waiting and waiting, that by the time our awesome nurse came in with the "ok", we were all in a coma. I mean, we were out. The nurse, Margi - the best nurse ever, had been working on getting us released for hours. Needless to say, once she got the ok, we were out of there in about 10 minutes. It was a crazy, whirlwind time. I mean, I had been in a sleeping coma 5 minutes before and now it's TIME-TO-GO-NOOOOW and really, I needed to pee.

The nice tech wheeled us out and took us OUTSIDE in the COLD while we waited for Paul to get the car. She had a lovely conversation on her phone while Courtney and I sat there shivering. Once Paul pulled the car up and got our stuff loaded (which had quadrupuled since we'd been there, even though we had barely left the room), we had to tackle the car seat. Here we are, outside the hospital, it's coooold out, Courtney is swaddled up tight and not at all ready to be placed in her seat and we've only once put anything in a carseat - a doll for practice. Needless to say, it didn't go well. Once we drove about 5 feet, I had Paul pull over so I could try it again. I'm still not sure she was in there right, I think she is too small. We're going to need to figure it out before our pediatricians appointment tomorrow.

I was on roll with my post and then got distracted and now I'm so tired I can't remember what I was going to say. More later, if I can remember....
