Coming Home

When the hospital staff suggested that Heather and Jillian could be discharged on Friday, we jumped at the chance to go home. We packed up all of our gear, and left the Family Birth Center at about 4:30 pm. Unfortunately, we ran into stop-and-go rush hour traffic on Mill Plain Blvd, which led to Jillian having a fit whenever the car stopped. So, we took a longer route home, but it at least gave us the constant motion that put Jillian right to sleep.

As soon as we arrived at the house, the first order of business was to feed Jillian, who had already built up an appetite. Then, we all relaxed and went to bed early. As we lay in bed with Jillian in her bassinet nearby, Heather remarked that "there are 3 people breathing in this room right now" ... what an awesome change with the addition of baby Jillian!
