Emily comes home!

Well, yesterday started brilliantly when we were informed by the hospital that all was clear and that we could go home! We started throwing all our things together and began getting that nervous feeling that this is where it all began.
So after her last checks (and JA's too) we brought up the car seat and began to get her ready. After our final farewells with the staff and the couple across the ward, we headed towards the exit with our mid-wife escort. Finally outside the mid-wife left us.....alone.....with Emily.....oh boy!!!

Now back home without any issues in the car - in fact Emily loves the car (a valuable piece of information for desperate moments later!) we unload and our neighbour is already upon us checking out the newest addition to the street. Home seems different now we're back and it all feels much smaller now that we seem to have stuff everywhere!

Lots of settling in ensues and Emily seems a little more agitated today - nappy issues. JA realises now Emily is reliant on her for food but grapes and kiwis are not good for the nappies, as I am finding out! Plenty of Sudocream put on.

Family come round to visit and Emily gets another squeeze but unfortunately she shows them all the power of her lungs. Bath time comes and this thankfully relaxes Emily before bedtime.

Amazingly two uninterupted 3 hour sleep sessions follow with a further sleep from 8am until 11am. Our first 24 hours at home with Emily end wonderfully. Hopefully you notice an improvement in the parent's faces from the following photo!

Well lets hope tomorrow is more like this for Emily!
