Day 24

Discharge Day!!
Dr. O
Nurse: Leslie
First of all...what a night! Between being a little stressed with what all needed done before we left for home, at about 4:30 in the morning I woke up with "the shakes" and an extremely sore right side. (You nursing mommies know what I'm talkin' about!) I had an infection coming on extremely quick. So I sat in the shower for a while in the middle of the night trying to calm it down. Not a fun feeling.
So not running on hardly any sleep....I guess you could say I was miss emotional all day with getting things around...and of course thinking of how things were going to go at home with that whole picture.
For some odd reason, I always have like an emotional breakdown when I go home from the hospital, but this time it seemed worse with leaving my temporary "norm" of over 3 weeks, with that little room and knowing exactly where everything was, and having a set routine. And the big part of just having to worry about Maylin and myself there.
So our day was a little rough, but we got through it. We were exhausted when getting back home about 5 pm that evening.
So here's some pics of us leaving the NICU!
Here's me with Dr. Olitungee. Missed an opportunity to get Brock with his buddy, Dr. Eziakadoo. (I wish I were kidding...these were our doctor's names...hence the abbreviations of Dr. E & Dr. O=) Another important man that dealt with Maylin's case a lot was Dr. Porter. He was easier to undertand and I could spell his name easy too=) They were all phenomenal!

(A not-so-flattering-pic of me I might add! Looks like mama's got some work to do!=))Here's our girl laying in her crib one last time....
Me and my princess all ready to go!
Look closely and she's got her first headband/bow in her hair!
We're happy!
And some of my favorite nurses! Katrina and Leslie...absolutely loved them and how much they loved on Maylin during her 3 weeks here. Hard to say good bye to such awesome people!
Set to go in her car seat for her first ride home!
buh bye empty room!
Off we go!
See you at home=)
