Bringing Iolanda home.

As nights in hospitals go, yours and your mom's first night in the hospital was not too bad. You shared the room with two other ladies and their babies, and luckily for you, you were the most vocal! Alessandra got some help with breastfeeding as well, which is very useful as it is not always as easy as it seems. Despite this, by the afternoon of the 5th we are all desperate to leave the hospital and be all together at home!

Various checks are done on baby and mom, which thankfully all come back without a problem, so towards late afternoon the midwife come to say that, as long as we promise to get Alessandra some iron tablets as soon as possible, we could take Iolanda home! A taxi is called and the last bits packed in, and before we know it, we are strapping the carseat onto the backseat and we are off!

A short ride later, we arrive in Rathmell Drive and the door with the pink ribbon is opened to welcome Iolanda home for the first time!



After everybody posed for a photo with Iolanda, Alessandra and nonna prepare Iolanda for bed in her own home for the first time!
