I had this perfect image of leaving the hospital. We would get someone to take the perfect family picture of all us for the first time and then we would all happily walk out together as a new family of 5! I should know by now, it never goes as planned. Instead, it was pure chaos. Forget about a family picture. You need a family for that! Chris had to go move the car which was illegally parked outside, the nurses rushed me into a wheelchair and out the door almost forgetting Carsten! And of course, Jack wouldn't even look at me...his life was about to change and I was to blame. It wasn't the picture I had imagined but it certainly tells a story and that's what it's all about, right? Lesson for the day, it will never go as planned but just go with it anyway....
