8/23/01 (Day 2)
Natalie had a lot of visitors today. Leanne's
parents and her sisters and Dram came to visit Natalie. Also my parents
came to visit.
8/24/01 (Day 3)
Today was Natalie's homecoming. We had planned on
having her home by noon. I had decorated the house a bit, and my Mother
came over and was waiting for us with balloons. Unfortunately, Natalie
wasn't quite ready when I got to the hospital. She still needed to have
some kind of hearing test done, but the machine they were trying to use
was broken, so we had to wait until they could get it working. Eventually
we got to go home. But by that time my mother had left.

After I had finished my new child leave and returned to
work, I received a number of presents from different people at work. Here
is a picture of Natalie in a nurser pillow that I got from the other guys
in the programming team.
