We are home Yippeee!! The fun starts now i suppose. Angela got approval to have a sleep over at the hospital last nite so that was the first step to coming home.
Today has so far been full of First,s.Gracyn,s First car ride,first feed at home,first cuddle with Tegs and mum at home,and her first poo at home which i,m sure there will be many more.
Tegan and I were so excited to get the call from Ang to say "come and pick us up", We could,nt get to the hospital quick enough. We are sad to leave the Scbu as we have met an outstanding bunch of dedicated staff and a whole lot of cool parents in the same situation as us. The Reid Family thank you all including Wellington Neonatal unit for all your support, help and encouragement over the past 15 weeks. You are all special people doing a great job and again we thank you.
We got Gracyn into the car and heading home i had it all planned to play a Ozzy Ozboure song "mama i,m coming home" on the way home but with all the excitement i forgot. We are home with oxygen and a couple of moniters to keep an eye one Gracyn,s Stats. Tegans job is to push the buttons when the alarm sounds but not until he has told us the numbers,Tegy likes to push buttons you see so he is very good at this job.
We have three oxygen bottles here 2 big ones i for the bedroom and one for the lounge and a small travel bottle for when we have to go out. It,s quite a logistic,s mission just to move Gracyn.It took three of us just to move her from the bedroom to the lounge, one holding the baby,one with the monitor, and one with the gas bottle.I guess we will get it sorted in time.
Our first nite at home will be fun, a nite we have been anticapating for 15 weeks, Gracyn is home 4 days before her actual due date of Feb 2 and weighs 3370grms (7lb4)
I have posted some photos of todays events and will keep up with the updates on this bolg as i get time. I have the next week and a bit off to help get Gracyn settled and get Tegan back into the School routine.
More tomorrow and i,ll let you all know how our nite went.
