Welcome home Nina!

We expected that the big day would be Friday, so we were surprised when the hospital informed Anita on Thursday morning that Nina could go home that same afternoon. Together with her happy parents, Nina 'walked' out the hospital on Thursday afternoon 4pm. Once at home in Waukegan we discovered quickly how convenient Nina's stay in the hospital has been for us. So many new little worries about the exact right sleeping position, that little gurgle sound, or the different feeding strategies.

That same Thursday evening we were also very happy to welcome Alistair, who was over from Vancouver in Chicago for a few days, in Waukegan. It was a great reunion and the evening was much too short to catch up on everything.

One of the things we had been looking forward to for the last six weeks, was the special bottle of Champagne we received as a gift from Franck & Patricia when we visited Warsaw this summer. Although the bottle was intended to celebrate Nina's birth, we decided that it would be a good alternative to open it at the moment we could take her home from the hospital. The champagne had been waiting in the fridge and it was a great moment to open it!

After opening the bottle of Champagne for us, there was another bottle for Nina.
