This was a Saturday. Guðrún also had trouble sleeping because she was always worried about our little Panda. I one time the baby awoke but I got up and put her back to sleep. In hindsight, I think that is the first time I did that.
The nurse came in and told us that we would leave on this day. We thought that we would get one more day but we were OK with going home. So we got our stuff read. The breastfeeding was still taking a long time but we had tried to use a little formula in a syringe which got the baby to sleep a little bit longer.
Before we went home we went to the Copenhagen Heart study to have the baby's heart measured, this was an opt-in study which we thought we would be a good idea. It was more difficult than we thought as it took a long time and our little Panda wasn´t happy about the whole thing and cried a lot. This was breaking our heart. One of the study workers gave her a little sugar water and she calmed down. After this, we got some pizzas from 7/11 and then took a taxi home. The baby slept all the way which was great and then kept on sleeping which was weird. We looked up sugar water and realized that it was at fault. She was drowsy but she drank a bit of milk which made it a bit better.
We were glad to be home. I was especially happy because I could lay in bed with Guðrún and our baby and be a bigger part of everything. We started by just laying and enjoying being a family.
