Trying to find order...

Today my sweet daughter turned 5 days, might not seem so special but for me/us it is. Weird, how small things suddenly become so much more fascinating. Today is also the third day at home, and we are starting to get some order into chaos.

On Thursday it was time finally time to leave the hospital after some interesting twists and turns trying to get the right person to see the right papers and send to the next right person... In the end we got everything packed and were ready to head home. Once at home I relised it might have been a good idea for me to prepare things abit more. However, I found spending time at the hospital more interesting so once we got home I finally decided to build the changingtable. Lets just say it's not an IKEA item so the manual and design was a bit difficult to figure out... After that it was trying to find the right things at the right time. Always a sock or something missing when you need to change diaper or clothes.

After an intereting night it was time to head back to the hospital for a bloodtest and weighing. Sara and Viviana did sleep some. Daddy,however, found every single sound abit scary and worrying though and didn't sleep so much. The hospital visit took awhile...SURPRISE! but after that we went to the supermarket. We needed to buy more diapers and other things that we realised might be good to have at home, like breakfast for daddy. Rest of the day was spent eating and trying not to fall asleep while people came to visit and have a look. So pretty much an equal day for dad and Vivi. Even though I managed to stay awake more than my small one!

Last night Vivi slept surprisingly well again. She ate at 23, then she fell asleep and woke again around 02. After 2 diaperchanges and some feeding in between she fell asleep and didn't wake until 08 this morning. And so far this day we've been cleaning up, doing some laundry and similar things while keeping Vivi entertained (holding her and just talking to her is sufficient... for now!) Atm, she's eating while Zia Arianna and "Zia" Silvia is keeping her and her mother company.

Before I start trying to upload some new pictures I just have to make a note of the fact that changing diapersmust be the futile job a parent can have. Twice I haven't even been able to get out of the bathroom before she decided to soil the new one. Also, figured out quite early that if she wakes up with a soiled diaper, DON'T change it before she eats, because you are going to have to change it afterwards anyway. Don't worry though, once things become more acidic I will of course change as often as I can/need!

Packed and ready to go home, only one thing missing... which is

The reason we were there to begin with!


Slightly cold at home so daddy wanted to use the cap even though it's not recommended.
Viviana wasn't the biggest fan either so I increased the temperature instead!


Putting a changingtable with built in bathtub together... not as easy as it looks!


Time to go back to the hospital... yeay!


Going shopping was all of a sudden more fun... for the parents. She didn't cry though, but I would have!


Her favorite place... according to her father. That claim has been disputed though ;)
