Hormones honestly! I can tell u I bawled my eyes out when the doctor told me Saturday night that the twins could leave the hospital and come home the following day:)
Although it was WONDERFUL up at the neonatal unit (I had 24/7 babysitters right - so I could even go out for dinner or sleep ENTIRE nights without having to get up and change/feed the boys - DELUXE!), it was like a major weight had been lifted. We could PLAN to have our whole family together under one roof. Up until that moment we dared not even IMAGINE this eventuality. It was so important psychologically simply to take each day one at a time and to be thankful for every little improvement that the boys made.
So when the big news came, we were a little unprepared! As in, we had to do a makeshift bed for the boys last night because we have yet to get their cot sorted (we have got one coming....we just haven't picked it up yet). But must say that the last few weeks have helped to put a lot of things into perspective. And frankly, whether the boys sleep on a good bed or baby cot for their first night home is not such a big deal:) (It might have been one if I had to sleep them in a drawer however;)
SO!!!! Dear, DEAR friends from this weekend onwards (21 Feb onwards), we will be very happy to receive you here at home to celebrate the extension to the Hoff-Nielsen clan!!! Feel free to call me and we'll try to find a good time together.
Lots of love and thanks again to all of you for being so supportive and lovely:)
