Five days after being born and both Mommy and Alexander are coming home today! Hooray…no more hospitals for us! (consider that this is being written on 16 Mar 2005…ha ha! — Ed.)
Springing him from WakeMed was a little more exciting than we planned… and there was more than a little hurry up and wait. So after an hour or so after we’re notified that he’s getting booted out the door and the paperwork is done, we’re ready to go.
Except that his circumcision required him to actually take a pee before they’d let him go. Aaaaaggggggghhhhhh…this is so darned excruciating… we are so ready to blow this joint!
So Mommy does the only logical thing to do…she orders Alexander to take a pee and be quick about it. Not one minute after the nurse who dropped the youse gotta pee requirement went elsewhere, he obeys the orders in Bristol fashion. All over Mommy, in fact! But that’s enough to satisfy the nurse and Alexander is on his way home. He looked so tiny in that car seat (so did Nicholas but he was two pounds lighter at birth!).
But yeah, he’s a keeper. 🙂
