I was ready to leave as soon as lunch time rolled around (which was about 11:15 on the hospital schedule), but it turns out that discharge isn't quite as easy as walking out of the hospital. I needed to meet with Daphne's nurse and my midwife to get the discharge instructions, plus we had to wait for all the paperwork to go through.
To pass the time, we dressed Daphne in her going home outfit and took lots of pictures. Our hospital room had a gorgeous view of the city, so we had a photo shoot with daddy showing Daphne her city. It's kind of weird to think that our daughter was born in Baltimore, and will likely be raised here.
We also decided to take some photos to compare Daphne at 38 weeks to Daphne at 32 weeks (when we got a 3D ultrasound picture). Looks like the same little girl!
When it was finally time to go, I had to get in a wheelchair, have Daphne in my lap, and get picked up next to the elevators on the 4th floor of the parking garage. They sure have their system down. After all the activity of the day, it's safe to say that we were all exhausted by the time we actually made it home!
