I can remember when they sent us home from Meridian Park Hospital with Lauren over four years ago. It was a freezing December day, we were first time parents, and they just sent us out the door to our car with few instructions and no safety net. I recall looking at Kimbelry in the seat next to me before I drove us home and we both had the same question in our eyes: "What do we do now?"
Heading home this time was a lot different. Both because we now have a much greater understanding of what to do and what is required, but also because we have an established family to integrate our son into. We aren't starting from scratch, and that gives us a lot of confidence.
Pick your night and you'll get a different number for the amount of hours we have slept in the last week. They range from 3-8, but you'll be luckier if you pick on the low side. Still, Kimberly and I have enjoyed our middle of the night time hanging with Nolan. It is all possible because Sue is here to make sure Lauren gets off to school or gets breakfast while we catch some extra sleep when possible.
Thank you, everyone, for your prayers, support, and enthusiastic calls and emails to help us celebrate!!
