It's finally Monday. The day when Regina and Henry are released from the hospital and I can bring them home. My mom and dad left yesterday to go back home to Portland. It was really a great help to have them both here. They helped me make sure the the house is already for the baby and also Regina. Now we are just waiting for the doctor to come in and sign the release forms and we can go. Henry has already been signed out and is sleeping in his car seat. Reginas doctor comes in and goes over all the precautions and what to look for over the next few weeks. Then she says "I strongly recommend you abstain from intercourse for at least six weeks. Its very important that you are healed properly in that area otherwise it could be very painful". Regina and I both nod in understanding. After that a nurse comes in with a wheelchair and we are free to leave. My truck is waiting right outside the doors. I snap Henry into the car seat base, while the nurse helps Regina get in the front seat. Once we are all set, I thank the nurse for everything and I drive my family home for the first time. After pulling in the driveway I quickly get out and rush over to help Regina out and I throw her bag over my shoulder then I go get Henry's car seat. We walk into the house and go straight into the living room. I put the car seat on the coffee table and help Regina slowly sit down on the couch. She's still in some pain but that's to be expected. The doctor said it will subside soon. I sit next to her and asks if she needs anything. "No thank you dear. I'm just happy to be home. I can't wait to sleep in our own bed". "I'm happy you are home too. I'm happy you both are home". I say looking between her and our sleeping son. "Emma could you get him for me please. I miss holding him". "Sure babe". I unhook the restraints and gently lift him out and into Reginas arms. He stretches and lets out cute little grunts. I wrap my arms around her and hold them both close to me. Regina lays her head on my shoulder and soon she falls asleep. I'm just sitting here loving this. I must have drifted off at some point because now I being woken up by little whimpers from Henry. Regina also wakes up and says "He must be hungry". I take him while she opens her shirt and I hand him back and she starts to feed him. She looks at me and says "Are you hungry to sweetheart?" I giggle a bit and say "Why, what are you offering?" She swats my hand and laughs as she says "Don't start that now Emma the doctor said six weeks". I hang my head low. "Yea I heard her, I can just imagine how many cold showers I'll be taking". We both laugh at that. "You didn't answer my question, have you eaten today dear?" Ya I had a muffin and some cereal before I went to pick you up. Plus last night Granny, Ruby and Belle brought over a bunch of food, so we should be set for a few days. We've got lasagna, my favorite chicken broccoli Alfredo, we also have chicken cacciatore with rice on the side, plus breakfast pastries". "Wow. They did all that for us?" She says as a few tears fall. "They sure did babe. They said they didn't want us having to worry about cooking. We just have to heat it when we want it". "That's amazing Emma. We have wonderful friends". I kiss her forehead and say "Yes we do sweetheart".
