9.13pm
So I'm here. After only four hours in the hospital I arrived with a lot of help of Mummy. It was hard going though and I spent the first hours sleeping it off.
9.14pm
After a while I was handed to Daddy. I recognised his voice immediately but was too busy trying to relax to engage with conversation.
9.28pm
I was already getting hungry after only 20 minutes! We went up to our bed on the ward and we both had some food. It was weird being out in the open so neither of us slept well that night.
10.03am
My sisters rallied together with Daddy to orgainise my Moses basket the next morning. It took a bit longer than I think Daddy was planning but they got it together in the end. They were really looking forward to seeing me and they made lovely pictures for me with Evelyn while Daddy came in to pick us up.
11.14 am
Daddy arrived with his fancy camera and took some pics while we waited for the doctor to check over me before we could go home.
12.04pm
The doctor took longer than we thought so I got to hang out with Mummy and Daddy in the hospital and had my first bath. What fun!
1.18pm
I took my first steps (via Mummy carrying me in the travel cot) into the big bad world. It was such a lovely day and I had a great nap in the car.
16.42pm
I got to play with my new big sisters all afternoon. It was great fun. They loved my hat and found my small hands very funny. They really loved having me finally home!
17.42pm
Una, Granny and Granddad all called in to see me. They couldn't believe I was at home already.
20.16pm
I got to stay up late with my big sisters and they both had turns holding me and we had great fun. I can't wait to play with them again tomorrow.
21.13pm
With Eimear in bed, Eilbhe got to hold me while we sat with Mummy. And so my first 24 hours ended.
Update you all soon!
