i walked out, DP carried DS & my dad carried the rest of the stuff (he had to come to drive my car which had the car seat cos it's a manual & DP drives an auto hehe). i think i was carrying DS but i needed to go to the toilet before we left so i handed him over. we walked out to the car in the car park, but it wasn't that far.

i'd been waiting in the waiting room for an hour or so before they arrived (last minute installation of the car seat) & i think the hospital had forgotten i even existed by that time!
