6 more nights!

Hoorah! Hoorah! We're in single digits and it's less than a week till Noah can sleep in his own bed.

Sadly there are no photos in today's posting. Noah has been far too busy to stand still and pose for photos. There have been visits by plastic surgeons, pediatricians, physiotherapists, rehabilitation doctor, helmet fittings, corset fittings, x-rays, and baby massages on top of his normal daily routine. It's GO! GO! GO!

Tomorrow Noah will visit his future home for the first time. Oma and Opa have been very busy taking care of Noah over the weekend so that we could go to Den Haag and try and get everything ready. Of course we have forgotten lots of things, like today we suddenly remembered that we need milk bottles for Noah. Although he still gets his food via a tube, we still need to make the milk up for him in a bottle. Ah well, we'll improvise! This is the main purpose of the visit really, just to see what things we need and where are the difficulties. It's a shame it couldn't have been earlier as we don't really have time before Monday to fix anything. Then again, it must be the same for anyone bringing their baby home, you'll see what you need and send the other half out to get it! :) We're both very excited, but I've been asked by more than one nurse whether they will see me back on Wednesday night. I think they are on to my plan of not returning - Darn it!!

There is also a mountain of administration that has been created since we got our coming home date. Thijs is constantly on the phone or walking around with a large sheet of paper, crossing things out and writing on it, muttering to himself. I hope he's not loosing it now! They say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.....
Oma has also been working hard, as we decided to put a rush on getting a 3rd person signed off as an official care taker of Noah. So she will take her exam on Saturday, we all wish her the best of luck.

Well there's not much else to say, except thanks for all the great comments. We'll take some photo's of Noah's day at home and post them soon. I'm not really looking forward to coming back here after our home day, but at least it won't be for much longer. I wonder if we've got the theme tune from the movie "The great escape"? It would be so cool to play that when we finally leave here on Monday!

So it's so long from Colditz ... erm Sophia ;)
