Discharged!

Our boy was discharged around 7 p.m. last night, luckily after the huge thunderstorm George and I got caught in on the way over. One over our favorite nurses, Ladee, had Charlie for his last day and went through all the check-out paperwork with us, and then we said our good-byes! (See photo below of Charlie with some of his favorite nurses). We will miss the nurses so much - in the last 2 and a half months, many of them have become good friends, and we can't thank them enough for all they have done for us.

Here we are at home last night, beginning the next stage of our adventure. We're all smiles here because this was before the crying jag that lasted from 12:30 a.m. (bedtime) until almost 3 a.m. (next feeding). It wasn't nonstop, but frequent enough that I finally took him back out of the crib and into the living room, and gave up on that shift of sleep. Luckily he slept from 3:45 to 5:45, so at least we're not completely deprived.

We have a pediatrician appointment in about 2 hours, so that will be our adventure of the day - can mom and dad get showered, get a diaper bag packed, and get Charlie dressed and out of the house in the next hour and a half?
