Going Home!

Monday, December 27, 2010

After what feels like being in the hospital for the entire 8 month pregnancy, we are finally headed home. Keri just got her staples taken out and the paperwork done, so we should be actually driving away in about an hour. We have a cart-full of flowers which is awesome and we're thinking about setting up our own floral shop.

Of course we won't actually be leaving the hospital for good since we'll be back a few times a day to be with Claire. Keri actually tried nursing her twice yesterday and she was sort-of getting it, but not really; Better than Kenley did at first, I think. We asked the nurse how long it would be until Claire would get to go home since everybody asks us and we have no clue. She said they like to tell people that it's around the due date, but actually turns out to be around the 37-38 week, so we're looking at another week or two. In this NICU, they have two family sleeping rooms, so if they are available, Keri and I might sleep there so if Keri is trying to nurse her we won't have to wake up three times a night to drive to the hospital. We'll see.

It's nice to finally see this stage (at least one part of it) ending.

And now what everybody actually checks this blog for: pictures.

So do you see a resemblance?

Here's Claire -


Here's Kenley -
