We made it home. It was nice to have nurses take care of me around the clock--and especially to take the baby so I could sleep just a little--but it is even nicer to be able to walk around, sit in my own comfy couches and bed. Andrew slept most of the day and I was worried that he would want to be awake all night. He did wake up plenty to eat but went to sleep after each feeding. It will take a few days to get into a routine. Here he is....
After a few visitors, a nap, and dinner the kids were playing outside while Russell was working on his motorbikes. I was in the house keeping an eye on the baby and I heard a scream from Hattie--one that you know something is wrong. Russell ran in and said he needed a towel. So, I got a couple wet washclothes and ran outside. Hattie was bleeding--it was all over her shirt. Russell informed me that she had a big gash on her chin and he would have to take her into REDI-CARE for stitches!!! So we got them in the car and away they went.
{she had been riding a scooter and hit a bump and fell of the scooter--she must have just hit the concrete hard enough that it split her chin open}
She came home with 5 stitches, a jamba juice, a bouncy ball, and a smile on her face. What a tough girl.
What a first day home!!
