After being discharged yesterday, we packed up our things and said goodbye to the hospital. It took a surprising amount of trips to the car to load all of our things that we had collected over the past few days. The most exciting aspect of that afternoon was getting to hold Jacob and walk more than three feet, as he was no longer tethered to the machines.
After loading the car, getting his medicines from the pharmacy, and trying to figure out how to operate our stroller (hospital policy says you can’t carry the baby) we finally brought Jacob out to the car and strapped him in to the car seat. With baby aboard, Elise in back watching him, and big snowflakes beginning to fall from the sky, we were off for home.
Arriving at home, Jacob settled right in to the new setting. He tried out his new gear and had a surprisingly restful night. It is now Tuesday night more than 29 hours after arriving home and Jacob, Mom, and Dad are enjoying every minute of it!
