Going Home

Saturday morning we rallied together to get Ava ready to go home. I had convinced Lorne to stay overnight the second night so we could get ready earlier in the morning to go home and be home by lunchtime. Our belongings had multiplied in the 2 days we had been at the hospital and so we packed things up and changed Ava into her going home outfit and waited to be discharged.We put Ava into the car seat and she looked so tiny in it! Then it was time to put her into the car and drive home. The first half of the drive was smooth but when we got to the 95 South, it was gridlocked. Should have known since it was a Saturday! Lorne was a bit frustrated as he was anxious to get us home and have his little family all under one roof and pretty soon we inched our way to our exit.
When we got to the house we were greeted by some fabulous decor thanks to my mom! She had put a sign in the yard announcing our sweet Ava and balloons as well as a baby girl rattle on the door and more fun baby girl decorations in the house. We were blown away and even though Ava was asleep we know she appreciated it too!Later, we put Ava into the bassinet for the first time and it was sweet to see her in it as we had put Jasmine in it almost 4 years before. She quickly went to sleep and we hoped that she knew she was home and this is where she belonged!
