My how things change quickly. On Sunday afternoon, Sara and I were chilling at Naomi and Tracey's waiting for the "opening hours" back at the nursery. (parents kicked out between 1 - 3pm), and the hospital called. .. We had been invited to stay at Possum Corner, which is the room / bed where parents "stay" at the hopital for 24/48 hours before they go home.. yes that's right. Go home.
Sara and I stayed at the hospital 2 nights, Sunday, then Monday night. We didn't tell many people, but kept it a small secret unless it impacted plans of others. We wanted our own special 2 days with them. It was amazing, that first night rooming in with the girls was great.
Sara and I did the round the clock breast feeds, no bottles or tubes, and then we did it again Monday night .. and guess where I am now. At the faithful kitchen bench, girls asleep and will be waking for the 12am feed, .. at HOME.
Tuesday (today) we got all the bits ready, discharge papers, clothes for the home trip, head bumpers for the car seats, (cradles really), and off we drove, at about 11am (ish) and to Manly, where we lugged them and luggage up the stairs and into home.
So far, it's been good. Mum and Brian were here, they flew in Monday night and we were not expecting to be out, so we told them when I picked them up at the airport that we would be coming home tomorrow... lots of fun.
The day shifted their routine a little as we had a few doctor interruptions which moved feeding time back an hour (or fwd) but Sara has readjusted that by comping with a bottle feed for Willow at 7pm, then feeds at 8pm.
yay!
Anyways .. see photos for more luscious fun with our girls.
