It was weird to spend the night in the hospital. It is eerily quiet. Darren went home to sleep because there was no cot or couch for him to sleep on.  I told him to go so that he could be rested for me. I was able to catch a few winks of sleep between Maria eating and having a fussy time.

It was so overwhelming. Tons of information being thrown at you and not being able to comprehend half of it because you are exhausted. I was so glad when Darren returned in the morning to listen to it all. The Doctor okay us to leave that afternoon. We had to wait till a couple more tests were done before we could leave. We finally packed up and left around 3:30pm. It was nice to be able to go home but extremely scary at the same time. Were we going to be able to care for this tiny little girl? What if we do something wrong? What do we do when she cries? All these questions and more were running through our heads.
