We're Home!

As the title suggests, Krystal and I are at home. We got out in the middle of the afternoon yesterday and have been settling into our little family since then. But first, back to Sunday. In the afternoon, only James and Kory came to visit us in hospital. We were meant to be getting out, but the doctor had other ideas and said it would be Monday before we got out.

It was nice spending time together, Kory took an interest in Krystal for the first time - presumably as there was no other novelty visitors! He was in my bed and asked for the baby to come and lie next to him, very cute isn't it?!

The hospital was so so hot the whole time I was in, it was actually ridiculous, we were all dripping in sweat on the ward. The midwives even still expected us to wrap babies in 2 blankets, they'd have cooked! Overall I had a much better experience in hospital this time compared to when I was in having Kory. The midwives were so helpful and lovely, even helping in the night when I could barely move!

So yesterday was getting out day, I spent the morning packing and seeing one doctor and midwife after another to get discharged. I also had a nice chat with the breastfeeding lady who was very nice.






James and Kory arrived to collect us about 2:30pm and it was about 3pm by the time we loaded the car and were escorted out. Kory was chuffed to bits to have "baby Tiso" in the car beside him and stroked her head on the way home! Both babies were asleep by 7:30pm last night and we had an evening to ourselves before the night fun started.

Krystal has an awake period about 11pm-3am, she's done it every night so far. But after that she settles and sleeps about 4 hours. But she's so little and snuggly, I can't be mad with her even when I'm shattered!


Today we just relaxed and slept around the house. My midwife came this morning to see me and Krystal. This afternoon we all went into the garden for a wee while, with Krystal all wrapped up in her Teddy suit. It was very cute and she just slept the whole time!





Kory is being a brilliant big brother, wants to help with Krystal lots. And this evening he stopped what he was doing and put his toys away to go to her when she cried, which was very sweet of him. She stopped crying too when he went over to her.

This video is of her in her swing and Kory eating his "blueberries hiding in yoghurt" after dinner tonight.
