This morning we arrived at Lions Gate Hospital to be greeted by the wonderful Patty and Ruby (the two Special Care Nurses who admitted Morgan 5 minutes after she was born).
We were promptly asked, “Did you bring your car seat?”
A faster dash to the parking level has never been made.
Morgan passed her car seat challenge (1 hour of sitting in her seat to ensure she is properly fitted and getting enough oxygen) and we were given the Royal Boot… woohoo!
We B-Lined it for the exit just in case they changed there minds.
3 hours at Horseshoe Bay (apparently there is some sort of Canada Day celebration coming up) and we were on our way!
I think half of the ferry stopped by and oohhed and ahhhed over our little girl… in other circumstances she’d be the ultimate chick magnet.
A quick stop at Pharmasave to say hello, let them know all was well, and we were on our way home.
H O M E !
What a glorious feeling – all together again.
(At times I felt like the farmer with the fox, chicken, and corn that all need to cross the river).
Morgan is absolutely a delight and we are just thrilled to be together.
So, 2 weeks and 1 day (and almost 3 weeks since our fateful Monday pre-natal checkup), we are finally reunited in the nursery that was built 3 months ago, following our wedding of 1 year ago, in the house that was bought 2 years ago, all for a little girl that FINALLY decides it’s time to come home.
And now it begins…
Tuesday, June 23rd: 2 weeks after Beth arrived at Lions Gate Hospital we returned for a day with our little girl. She is 12 days old.
A quick update on this, my first Father’s Day.
