Leo Comes Home

I suppose it was inevitable that we should have inflicted upon us one final dose of relative inefficiency and slow movement at Kingston Hospital. Emma and I arrived at about 15h45 to take Lara and Emma home only to find that somebody had forgotten to put Leo's name in a book so the paediatrician had not checked him. And then when she did there was a slight concern over jaundice. This in turn led to a blood test which should take 2 hours to come back. But of course even once it was back (and fine) it took another 2 hours for the discharge process to be completed. Emma was very bored, very tired and very hungry by the time we left at about 20h30. She was also very good indeed.

Leo's first night home was much as one would expect. Lots of feeding, quite a bit of niggling etc. But it is now 08h06 on the morning after and I've just dropped Emma off with Allison to go to school. Lara and Leo are still sleeping so hopefully Lara is making up for the times he woke during the night. At least we know this is all temporary and will settle down...
