Today, Helen came to the house and started unloading her car. I think it took her about three or four trips … and this is just the beginning. It was really weird to see the stuff at home when we are so used to it all, but in the NNU. As I unpacked the syringes, it really dawned on me that Max is coming home. In the NNU we are not encouraged to think about exactly when babies are due to come home so the thought is kept as a vague possibility some time in the future, but the future suddenly got a lot closer!
Helen and I unpacked all the boxes and packages and went through the use of each and every item. By the time she left, Massimo’s bedroom floor was hidden under medical equipment. We will certainly need to buy some sort of storage solution for all the stuff, or else we will never know where we are.
