Oh my god. We are home. With a baby. Like… a real baby, a live baby. We are both just… beyond. Beyond anything. Thrilled, terrified, amazed, joyful.<\/p>\n
Yes, she was born yesterday and we’re home today! If we left before 48 hours were up we got a home visit from a nurse, and Den really wanted us to get that – plus he was going nuts in the hospital, especially with her cluster-feeding all day today, he really had nothing to do (and they have all of 5 TV channels). And me, well, I think I was scared to leave.<\/p>\n
Getting dressed in street clothes, getting her dressed in her own clothes, packing up all of our stuff, it all felt like returning to real life. And then we wheeled our cart out of the hospital, which had our bags all on it… and the carseat with the baby in it. I’m not going to lie: we giggled the entire way out, saying, “Oh my god! We’re leaving! With a baby!” And our hearts pounded. Den’s especially – he was freaking out about driving us home.<\/p>\n
Kate actually managed to fall asleep in the truck, after crying for a bit – I was worried about her screaming the whole way home, because all day all she’s done is either sleep, suckle, or scream. (Yes, my boobs hurt!) But then out she went! (And she’s still out, thus why I’m on the computer rather than feeding her again!) Denis carried her in the carseat into the house and into the bedroom, then went back out to bring all our stuff in. I sat down on the bed, covered my mouth with my hands, and just started crying as it all just overwhelmed me. She’s here. She’s really here, in my house. She’s ours. We have a BABY!<\/i> <\/p>\n
Now we just get to figure out the rest…<\/p>\n
I’ll post pics later, I need to find a better way to edit them. No time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
