Going home on Sunday?!

Some of the nurses commented on Saturday night that we may be able to go home on Sunday after Kate's 24 hour check instead of waiting until Monday morning. This really appealed to us since everything seemed to be going well and we were anxious to get home and start life here.

I got the okay from my doctor on Sunday morning and the nurses kept telling me that things were going well. Only the pediatrician was a little hesitant. His requirement was that if things continued to go well on Sunday, then he'd sign us out as long as we promised to have a check-up with our pediatrician sometime on Monday.


That got the ball rolling! Matt, Anna, Grandma and Grandpa came back for a bit on Sunday morning. Anna seemed to be right at home milling around in the hospital room, but still without too much interest in baby Kate. After the family left, I got to have a couple of nice naps plus a tasty lunch before I needed to fill out all of the paperwork necessary to go home.

We got the final 24 hour checks right at 4 p.m., Matt and Anna came to get me around 4:30 and we were home eating dinner by 5:30 ... yikes!

We were all ready to crash early, except for Kate. Once she finally got settled, though, she slept pretty well the remainder of the night.
