On our way home

For those of you who don’t know our schedule, Marla would go up to the hospital at lunch for a few hours and then the two of us would return for 6pm and stay for atleast an hour or two.  Considering the hospital is a good 30 minutes in each direction, we’ve spent alot of our day just on visitations.

So we’ve been busy, but being the multi tasker that I am, I’ve been able to find time to work on what can only be described as a very sweet looking beard.  Please see the first photo for proof.

We have only good things to say about our time at the hospitals and the care Ruby has received.

Due to Ruby’s low birth weight a public health nurse will come to our house a couple of times a week to check up on us for the next 4 months.  On top of this, we have our team of midwives coming to our place 5  or 6 times over the next few weeks.  And of course we have a parade of family members coming out starting Thursday.

There’s really no way that Marla and I can screw this up.

Home activities

Since coming home we haven’t had time for too much.  We’ve basically been doing one of two things:

Taking time for myself

All business, all the time

1)  We’ve been relaxing in bed in between feeds.

Ruby is starting to go through the giant pile of clothes that all our friends have gratiously donated.

Due to her size we haven’t tried to give equal time to each outfit we’ve been given, instead we’ve been having her wear what ever fits at the time.

On the left Ruby is wearing something from the Shandra and Harman winter collection.  To the right she is wearing a sleeper donated by the Guelph girls.

2)  We’ve been on the phone constantly to friends and family.  Needless to say we’ve had a lot of questions and both families have been teriffic.  Thank you:)

I’m not sure who Ruby is talking to in this photo:)

A comparison of cool

Given how cool Ruby’s parents are, it’s only natural to ask…. “How cool is Ruby?”.  Well on the popped collar scale she’s off to a good start.  You can see that she has 2 popped collars.  Compared to the gold standard 0f 4 popped collars shown on the right, Ruby is well on her way to being very cool.
