Homeward Bound

We brought her home. Of course, it had to be pouring rain as we left the hospital to add to the degree of difficulty of getting her situated in the car for the first time. Once I tried to put her seat into the base I realized that putting her behind the driver seat (because this is the 'easy' side to get out of in our narrow parking garage) was a mistake as I had to move the driver's seat way forward. Maybe our car seat wasn't designed with small European cars in mind, but its a Golf, so....I'll move it to the other side later.

The hospital staff gave us a couple of sample packs of various things, including baby cologne. I had retrieved our birth certificate application form to take to the registro civil on Monday and we were out of the hospital around lunchtime. And the best part, no bills. Thank you, very much, social medicine. We are Spanish residents now and E received her official tarjeta sanitaria the day before we left.
