After 24 hours of 'real' parenthood, Katie and I have realized that the phrase 'sleeping like a baby' is ridiculous. If by sleeping like a baby, you mean a constant stream of grunts, coo's, cries, etc with intermittent periods of sleep, then you're right on.
I am only half-kidding. Our two days at home have been essentially perfect and though we slept in shifts last night, we could not be happier. Edward is extremely calm and mellow and doesn't seem to miss the hustle, bustle and beeps of the hospital. We toyed around with the idea buying our own hospital monitor, so Edward would feel more at home (and Katie could monitor his heart rate and oxygen level - again, only half-joking). Winston, our dog, on the other hand, is going through a period of 'adjustment'.
Hope everyone is having a very Happy Easter as we certainly are. Here's a video of pictures from Edward's 95 days in the NICU and his first minutes at home!
And the tears were flowing.... absolutely loved the video.... what an incredible Easter weekend :)
