We were discharged from the hospital on Monday, New Years Eve. I personally think that mom's should be allowed to come home and unpack and get things together and then go back and pick up your baby from the nursery. While I was "ready" for her birth, I can't say I was totally prepared to bring a baby home. My mom was a huge help by running to Target and the grocery store for us while we settled in. Stuart went to Sams to get new air filters and batteries for our bouncer and swing and I unpacked from the hospital. Debbie Turner brought us dinner which we LOVED! And ate for several meals. It was probably the best meal we had eaten in a while!!! Grandmommy and Granddaddy also came over to visit. We must of forgotten it was New Year's Eve because we were in bed by 10:30pm, only to stay up all night turning on and off the heater, air conditioner, and fans; changing the sheets because of diaper changing accidents, taking the bumper on and off her cradle so she wouldn't suffocate, putting the stoppers on and off the cradle so it would rock and she wouldn't roll into the side! Then feeding and my milk coming in! It was a heck of a night. We turned our bedroom into her nursery dragging half the stuff from her room into ours. At one point I think we both just thought our lives had turned up-side-down. It has to get better everyday... I hope :)
