Going Home
The day started with another sumptuous hospital breakfast for Robbi and beef jerky for me.
I shouldn't complain. Alden was on day two of straight up colostrum. Can you say "yum"?
The OB visited, as did the pediatrician. They both gave the ok for us to go home. So after some baby training videos, one of which was produced in 1986, we loaded Alden into the car seat (thank you Jose and Luciana!) and said our farewells to the amazing maternity staff.
Alden wailed like bloody murder as we left maternity and continued down the hallway to the elevator, during the elevator ride, and from the elevator to the front of the hospital. One would have thought we were torturing her.
By the time she and Robbi made it to the curb, she seemed to have run out of fight.
She is still very small.
We pulled out of the parking lot. Two minutes later we were home. Actually, we were at Bob and Seiko's house, where we will be spending a few days until Robbi is feeling back to full strength.
Alden and Iggy made their first acquaintance.
Alden insisted on being carried inside.
Our makeshift nursery is Robbi's childhood bedroom. I like the symmetry of it.
We put the crib by the window so that Alden could get some sunlight (an important factor in preventing jaundice, apparently).
She slept for a few hours, giving us a needed nap.
When we all woke up, Seiko made us a delicious dinner, which we took in bed. The luxury.
Here she is at two days old. Robbi just pointed out that it's never going to happen again.
