After 3 and a half weeks in 2 different hospitals we were deemed ready to go home on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\"On

On our way home<\/p><\/div>\n

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.\u00a0 Considering the hospital is a good 30 minutes in each direction, we’ve spent alot of our day just on visitations.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 Please see the first photo for proof.<\/p>\n

We have only good things to say about our time at the hospitals and the care Ruby has received.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 On top of this, we have our team of midwives coming to our place 5\u00a0 or 6 times over the next few weeks.\u00a0 And of course we have a parade of family members coming out starting Thursday.<\/p>\n

There’s really no way that Marla and I can screw this up.<\/p>\n

Home activities<\/h2>\n

Since coming home we haven’t had time for too much.\u00a0 We’ve basically been doing one of two things:<\/p>\n

\"Taking

Taking time for myself<\/p><\/div>\n

\"All

All business, all the time<\/p><\/div>\n

1)\u00a0 We’ve been relaxing in bed in between feeds.<\/p>\n

Ruby is starting to go through the giant pile of clothes that all our friends have gratiously donated.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

On the left Ruby is wearing something from the Shandra and Harman winter collection.\u00a0 To the right she is wearing a sleeper donated by the Guelph girls.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 We’ve been on the phone constantly to friends and family.\u00a0 Needless to say we’ve had a lot of questions and both families have been teriffic.\u00a0 Thank you:)<\/p>\n

I’m not sure who Ruby is talking to in this photo:)<\/p>\n

A comparison of cool<\/h2>\n

Given how cool Ruby’s parents are, it’s only natural to ask…. “How cool is Ruby?”.\u00a0 Well on the popped collar scale<\/a> she’s off to a good start.\u00a0 You can see that she has 2 popped collars.\u00a0 Compared to the gold standard 0f 4 popped collars shown on the right, Ruby is well on her way to being very cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
