The first few days at home without our little girl

We arrived home at 12.30am in the early hours of Sunday morning. I would recommend leaving hospital at that time to anyone who wants to be as inconspicuous as possible when leaving a hospital. You don't have to compose yourself for strangers, you can cry all the way to the car and you won't bump into the neighbours when you get home. Also anyone who has stayed in hospital will know it takes a long time to be discharged from hospital. We asked to leave at 8pm on the Saturday and 12 was when we had all the paperwork sorted to leave. It would be hard if we had asked to leave at 8am on the Sunday but not got home for another 4 half hours. 
On the Sunday morning we were the lucky ones. We got to see our bright smiling little girl Katie. We had missed her so much. She was after all part of our future and a healthy way to focus our energy. 
You can't he but think about how Hannah would of impacted our life. How she would of shaped our family if we had brought her home that Sunday morning. How Katie would of reacted to having a new little sister and having to share my attention.
