24

24- how many hours from the time Braden and Nelson were born, and the time we were discharged from the hospital.

After worrying about spending weeks and weeks in the NICU, we were THRILLED to be able to get away from the hospital so quickly.  Mike didn't expect that we were going to able to leave so soon, but I was pulling for a miracle.

I was exhausted that first night, but not able to sleep a wink.  I went to talk to the nurses in the nursery during the night and found myself telling quite an emotional sob story about how long I'd already spent in the hospital, and how I hated the smell of their soap because it brought back so many hard memories.  The next morning, they were working really hard with my doctors to let me go.  Those dear, dear nurses.

GOING HOME
