Exeunt mea familiae

So today is the day that we go home. The hospital staff has been very nice and patient with us as we learn how to be parent Spoons. We are very appreciative of all that they have done for us. If having a baby depended on how well you were treated by the hospital staff, then we'd absolutely recommend doing so based on how well we have been taken care of here. They all get a rating of 10.

Of course, we have better reasons for being parents. Like this adorable little Baby Spoon. She is so amazing. The way she developed in the womb was perfect, because she can already lift her head and she even tried crawling in her bassinet. Incredible, huh? It's like she wants to be 3 months old instead of 3 days.

Can I just say being a father is awesome? Thanks. Had to share that. Lol.

Understandably, we are excited to leave the hospital. It's been nice to relax and have the nurses help to take care of our Baby Spoon, but now is the time for us to do it on our own. Which we have confidence that we'll be successful in doing. Mommy Spoon and I are a good team. We've proven that between ourselves in the past, and now we can continue to apply that experience with our new family.

The final steps are being taken care of here at the hospital, and we have most of everything packed. We've spent the day receiving additional instructions and tips on how to encourage Baby Spoon to nurse. She can be a feisty one when she gets hungry, but we don't want her to stay hungry. So now that we know a few more tricks, our little Spoon will be on her way to becoming that giant baby that she (and we) wants to be. Plus she'll get to sleep in her own crib. I know us Spoons are excited about that!

Even I am looking forward to getting some sleep in a bed, and not a chair. Here's a cute photo of me passed out last night while trying to get our fussy gem calmed down for a midnight snack. Enjoy! -Daddy Spoon.
