You left hospital on Tuesday 31st May at around 2.30pm. I was so excited to get you home and to actually enjoy you without having nurses and cleaners come into the room every five minutes! We couldn't wait to show you your room and all your toys and clothes, the things that had gotten us so excited for your arrival for months, and now finally, after 39 weeks you are able to see and use them!
I was so nervous coming home with you, as the roads in Kuwait are crazy! I was worried about you being too warm in the car and about lifting you into your car seat. Daddy drived very carefully and slowly to calm my nerves down and also because all the bumps in the road hurt my stomach from having the cesearean. You slept so peacefully all the way home, in your white stars babygrow and white woolen body suit. You looked so relaxed and beautiful.
I remember when we got home me and your dad placed the car seat on the floor in the living room and we sat on the couch watching you for about an hour, in amazement. We cried, we laughed and we smiled. We couldn't believe that this perfect little boy that we had wished for and wanted so badly was here in the room with us.
Our friends, Karen and Pete came around that evening to meet you, as we couldn't wait to show you off. They thought you were lovely and so well behaved - you didn't make a noise! Pete brought mummy and daddy a bottle of wine, and we all toasted you. It made me feel so proud showing you off. And that evening we got our first family picture of the three of us, taken by Pete.
You slept in the moses basket that night next to our bed. You looked so tiny. We didn't sleep at all that night, any tiny noise that you made, we switched the lights on to check you were ok! Whenever you woke up that night and the first few nights at home, both of us got up to change your nappy and feed you. We missed you when you slept.
