We were discharged early from the hospital today, which was a surprise, but an outcome that we preferred. The team of nurses, doctors, and support staff at Sacramento's Sutter Memorial High Risk OB team were fantastic. If one has a choice in selecting medical services, these folks are caring professionals, and I would recommend them to anyone in the area. For what its worth they are also the local crisis center for a number of surrounding counties, and have a NICU level III unit. I'm thankful we didn't need any of those services.
The girls all swaddled up and cosseted in their "boppies" which are C shaped pillows. I wonder if someone has patented the concept.
This is Ilsa in her going home outfit; apparently its traditional to wear fancy outfits for the hospital departure and photos. Of course upon arrival home, the girls get changed right back into puke proof attire.
This is Meribel, flaunting her going home outfit too. As an added perk, it came with a yellow hat. The other one had a hat too, but it got lost in all the kidparaphernalia we were issued.
One handy use for this pillow is for feeding, where the munchkin can be supported just with this, and fed easily. I fed both of them at once placing them side by side. They are hungry little hippos, and I've already had to run out for a (strangely expensive) formula resupply.
Before they discharge you from the OB unit, the nurses inspect your car seats, as well as the car. We passed, and are now all set to play bumper cars with oncoming traffic. When we got home, one of the cats came over and took an exploratory sniff of each basket, but then fled when the crying started. Both have been sulking upstairs ever since, uneasy about change they don't believe in.
