After our discharge from hospital, daddy loaded up the car with our things and put our precious cargo into the car seat for the first time. After a bit of a struggle to work out the car restraint, we were all strapped in and ready to go home. Daddy had even thought to do a [...]

Now that the discharge papers have been completed and I’ve been given the all clear it is time to get ourselves ready to go home! Here are some happy snaps from us getting Addison ready for our trip home . Doesn’t he just look adorable!?!

My obstetrician checked me over and gave me good news, we would be discharged from hospital and could go home today as originally planned! I just had to take care of myself (of course) and he was going to give me something to help clear up the infection. I just have to make an appointment [...]

After a very rough day yesterday the nurse came in to check on me at 4am as I was still in a lot of pain. Sure enough she found the reason why. Turns out that some of my stitches had burst, I was very bruised and had a nasty infection. I was told that I might not [...]

Today of all my days in hospital has been the most painful. I’ve been very sore and have been keeping up the pain medication non stop just to get some relief. One of the nurses checked my stitches and found that I am very bruised. I will be trying a salt bath later to see [...]

Today mummy, daddy and Addi had a very busy day filled with visitors. First we had Gran come to see her grandson and stay with me while daddy went home to get some lunch and freshen up. She bought us some lovely flowers and gifts… we are all so spoilt! The flowers were beautifully arranged [...]

As the days go on we are both getting more confident looking after Addison and are doing much more ourselves without calling for help from the nurses. One of the things that we are now doing on our own is nappy changing. Other areas are also getting much better, such as breast feeding. At first [...]

While I lap up the attention in hospital and have 3 course meals served to me everyday, not to mention morning and afternoon tea, daddy misses out. Instead of hospital food daddy went across the road and picked himself up some subway for dinner… daddy just loves those subway cookies!! Hospital is a little rough [...]
