Home, sweet home

Well we made it home from the hospital on Monday afternoon. We had expected to get out of there first thing Monday morning, but nothing gets done very quickly in a hospital. Dixie's parents offered to pay to upgrade our hospital room which was very nice. We were able to have a lot more space (which was nice when the boys were up there) and more importantly, the floor we were on was SO MUCH quieter than the regular floor. It made a huge difference. Also the nursing staff seemed to go out of their way to take vital signs and bug Dixie and Jaylie when they were actually awake, rather than waking them up all the time. Having the extra space allowed Isaac to spend the night in the bed with me on Sunday night, which was fun for him. He was missing mom and dad so it was special for him to have a sleep over at the hospital with us. Still, it's always nice to come home.

Dixie has had a bit more pain the last couple of days. I'm sure it's because she is doing a lot more moving around since she left the hospital. She's healing nicely but it will still be a couple weeks before she's back to 100%.

Jaylie seems to like it here. She has just been very easy so far. Isaac says "Girls sleep a lot". We told him he slept a lot when he was a baby too, but he thinks she's sleeping a lot mostly because she is a girl.

Life will get back to some sense of normalcy tomorrow. I am planning to go to work tomorrow, although I plan to wait till the kids are awake so I'll go in a little late. Dixie's mom, Carol, is planning to spend the day over here all week to help Dixie out. Dixie can't pick up Ethan so Carol will be a big help.

I had wanted to get some more pictures posted today, but didn't get to it. I may not have time tomorrow either with church in the evening, but hopefully they'll be posted to the Yahoo! photo album by Thursday.
