After needing to show two days of growth on the trot, we were finally cleared to head home!
Lola had put on only 5g on the Friday morning (2.575kg), but thankfully a further 45g by the Saturday morning which made her hospital leaving weight 2.620kg. This was still down from her birth weight of 2.850kg, but not by more than 10% which apparently is an percentage that is watched out for.
After 7 days confined mostly to a single small hospital room, where the maximum distance we had ventured had been about 20 metres to get a cup of tea or toast from the ward kitchen, I couldn't wait to get out of there! Stir-crazy, sleep deprived and pregnancy-induced hormonal doesn't even begin to account for it!
We were released on the Saturday about lunchtime, and Helen kindly took Nate again, so that Robin could come and pick us both up.
HOME!!!!! YAY!!!!

Here she is packed up for her first car trip, and first time outside!

And finally, at 6 days old, here she is safe and sound, finally at home and tucked up in her own bed! :-)
So ecstatic to be home! All is well with the world :-) X
