going home

the day after she was born, i requested that i be discharged from the hospital. after being there for 3 days already, i was aching to go home. thinking back, i really wish i would have stayed an extra day...

well going home proved to be harder than we could've imagined. remember, gemma was born on the weekend where we had the worst blizzard we had seen in a long time... so when the time to go home, of course our car would not start. it had been -30something the night before and there was no place to plug the car in. after talking to some of the maintenance folk at the hospital, one guy agreed to get jesse a super long extension cord on his "own time". um. that never happened.

luckily, after hours of waiting for the above dude, jesse was in the parking lot when a kind, very kind gentleman offered to boost our car. but something was wrong with the cable that he had or something (i don't remember the exact details) and so boosting wasn't gonna work... but then he offered to drive home across town to get a different cable, which he did and we were able to drive home.

thank you mystery samaritan... thank you so much!
