I had a vaginal birth, and it was 5 days later we left....
I walked with DD in her sling and DH carried the bags to the car. The car was parked close to other cars so DH moved it away so we could get DD safely into the car with more room.

It was such a special feeling carrying DD from the hospital room out of that hospital and heading home..... I remember holding hands with DH on the way home that day with DD in the back just feeling on top of the world.
