Last day in the hospital

Today is the last day we were expecting to be in the hospital, shooting to get home before noon. Last night proved to be very similar to the 1st night as we had nurses and residents stopping in at all hours to check in on Kristi and Sydney....leaving us again with very little sleep. The one thing that ended up working out well was the nurse's finally bringing in a pacifier (albeit not until about 4AM). Now I'm sure there is still plenty of debate about whether they should be used or if there are developmental issues with them, but I will tell you this...that thing is magical. Within one second of getting it, Syd calmed down and was able to nap for a good 45 minutes which proved to be our longest stretch for some sleep. That definitely helped as she was a little congested all night and this was the only thing that seemed to calm her down.

Time to go home means its time to shed that boring hospital outfit...
