That night was very strange, i woke up around 3am as i could hear a baby crying, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and sitting up i was a bit dazed when i remembered where i was and what had happened and realisation dawned that the little girl crying was you! I made a poor attempt at changing your nappy and gave you a bottle and we went back to sleep untill around 7am when i started clock watching because i knew your Dad could come in from 8am.
Your Dad had slept at Nannas in our old bed with the dogs and i couldnt wait to see him.
Your Dad and Grandad arrived at about 10:30am with the carseat but Grandad had to wait outside in the car because visiting hours were from 2pm but your Dad came in and helped me change and dress you in some clean clothes.
I was impatient to get you home or for them to let Grandad in, i felt really bad about him sitting out in the car all that time but he didnt mind at all, i went down to get him at 2pm and brought him up to meet you but he only got to have a little look before we were discharged and we wrapped you up and put you in your carseat for the trip home.
I had declined the offer of breakfast at the hospital because it smelt awful and by now was starving! When we got home Nan had cleaned everything and sat waiting for us was a gorgeous cheese sandwich and a cup of tea! Bliss!
You slept the whole way home and for about an hour in your carseat at home.
It was very strange settling in at home without midwives milling around and prodding, it was a lovely feeling to realise this was it now, me you and your dad, a proper family!
