Fancesca - At home

We finally made it home! Yea!

Yesterday (Saturday) was a pretty good day, all-in-all. After sitting around and plumping up our little girl most of the morning, we asked to have her weighed, because the anticipation was killing us. We found out that she was 11.4% lower than her initial body weight, which was disheartening, but not overly concerning. We just wanted to get home, which requires a weight loss of 10% or less.

Our great nurse was on our side, and after coming to terms with another night in the hospital, we found out that we were going to be discharged after all! We got out of the hospital last evening at 6:45pm.

On the Kaiser Permanente system (our HMO), we have a pretty strict limitation on which pharmacies that we can go to. There are only 2 in this area that are open on Saturday, and both close at 8:30pm. We made it there in time to pick up her pain meds, and then we all headed home for the first time.

The evening was pretty good. We managed to get a good 4 hour stretch of sleep in the middle of the evening. Little Bonkers didn't make a peep at all in her magical bassinet, with the sweet soothing sounds of "Mama" bear to keep her company.

We got up at 7 AM, feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world!

Cherie, we'll open the package soon!

We will try to post some at home pictures soon!
