Dear Emilia,
You had your first big car ride today! Everything was going perfectly at the hospital, so they gave us the option of taking you home. Hard to believe that you are just 36 hours old right now. (literally… right as I type this and look over at you!)
You are already more alert to the world, and we’re so happy to have you home so you can investigate the place.
Earlier today, we packed up the hospital room, and your mom got a ride in a wheel chair while I carried you in your car seat. Someone in the elevator asked about you, and I said, “Yep, this is her first elevator ride!” The woman helping us out reminded me, “Second ride”. Whoops! I forgot that we had just taken a ride.
I made a joke about how time was passing so quickly, and it seemed like only 45 seconds ago that you were taking your first elevator ride, which got a good laugh from the other elevator riders.
It’s true though. This is already happening so quickly. We’re just enjoying every minute of it.
Love, Dad
