Heading Home

3/3/12

J brought up the car seat, so we could put G in for the first time.  You should have seen us trying to adjust it!  Hilarious!  We didn't have the manual and weren't sure it was adjusted to fit her.  We did make some minor adjustments and got confirmation from Nurse Alison that it looked good.  J took the rest of our things to the car while the nurses brought me a wheelchair.  I put the car seat on my lap, and a nurse pushed me with one hand while she carried my flowers from Christylee with the other hand.  J met us out front. 

I sat in back for the ride home and watched G drift right off to sleep.  We just kept talking about how we couldn't believe we were going home with our baby.  We were freaked out about having to care for her all on our own.  It was kind of nice having the nurses around to help us if we had questions.  What would we do now?  Oh yeah, freak the heck out!!!

We stopped at Wal-Mart to drop off my prescriptions and then went home.  We put the car seat with baby down in the family room, and Pawncho came over to sniff.  He didn't stick around long. 

It's crazy, but I don't remember much from this day other than having to load the baby back up to go pick up my prescriptions.  I think J made something easy for dinner, and I spent most of my time nursing the baby and trying to get her to sleep in her bassinet.  It felt good to be home, and I am still amazed at how good I felt for a zombie.
