Last February, on a gorgeous winter day, we welcomed our first son in a New York City hospital. It was my second time giving birth in New York City and was quite a different experience from when we welcomed our first daughter in Florida just four years earlier.
While we stayed in the hospital for two days, I couldn’t wait to bring my son home so that we could start our life as a family of five. As we were discharged from the hospital, there was no car for us to take home just as we had done with our daughter. When we moved to New York City, we sold our car and came to appreciate public transportation.
I remember standing downstairs in the hospital lobby while my husband waited outside for 10 minutes in the freezing cold and snowy weather to get us a cab to head back to our apartment. Those 15 minutes felt like 15 years. All I wanted was to bring our baby boy home and the only thing keeping us from doing that was the fact that it was rush hour and nearly all taxis were taken.
Taking your little one home for the first time is stressful enough, you shouldn’t have to stress about how you are getting home from the hospital.
