Bringing Paul home...

So this is just a bit of making fun of ourselves as we were trying to head home from the hospital with Paul. Not only was it chaotic, traumatic, and incredibly exhausting.....but I wasn't even holding the camera the right way so you'll have to watch it with your head tilted! (For those friends in England, I should've gotten a better shot of the room. But check out this birthing suite! This was the room Paul was born in-----they have oxygen hook-ups and heat lamps and all sorts of medical devices hidden behind paintings on the walls. The room is supposed to look similar to a hotel room, of course. After the baby is born, about 10 nurses come in and super-clean the room. Then you stay there for the next 2 nights.)

In Caleb's defense, prior to the shooting of this video....our electricity went out at 2AM, the house was WAY TOO HOT with no air conditioning, Luke threw up, Chris was nauseous and thought he might throw up too, and (last but certainly not least) water went gushing into Chris' and my bedroom through a faulty window. And all this between the hours of 2-6 AM. So, they made their way down to the hospital to hang out with Paul and me and our air conditioning. After a few hours, the doctors had released us to go and there was no one more ready to move on than Caleb.

I feel guilty as I chuckle while watching this, but, oh boy... I told Erik your story and we both agreed that this stuff always happens to you guys! Why is that? Probably becase you can handle it better than the rest of us. :)
