When Kos comes home tomorrow, she would have been in hosptal for 25 days! A long time to be away from home and her loving husband! Unfortunately, Xavier won't be joining us. He will have to stay in the special care nursery for a few weeks yet. I think this will be quite hard for both of us, as we have waited so long and been through so much for his arrival. I guess it is a bit like waiting for Christmas, opening the best present of all time, and then not being allowed to take it home!
Xavier did get some guests yesterday and some very happy grandmothers, a grandfather and my great-grandmother got to have a hold for the first time. He was allowed out of the nursery for an hour, but from all the excitement was tired and slept for most of the day after that. He still needs plenty of rest to develop and it is hard to remember that he is now only 4 days old. We think he has grown a lot over the past few days, but then we see a full-term baby and he looks tiny compared to them.
To turn a negative into a positive, Xavier's extended stay in care will allow us to get the house ready for his arrival. We are putting in a new kitchen (yes we did leave it a bit too late, and would have done it sooner, but not having a job means that you cut back on those big ticket items!) which should be ready after Easter when Xavier comes home.
Welcome Home Kos!
