Transport team.

Mouse, a bit sleepy from the ride.

Kitten, wide awake.

Done yet?

Yep. Evelyn's arrived too. This is her in the transport isolette.

How did the transport go?

Still in process. Anna's here. However, the transport isolette was too small to bring them both in one trip, so they had to go back for Evelyn.

The transport isolette is a pile of electronic equipment clipped to the top of an ambulance gurney. At the very top of the pile is a blue nylon box that looks like a cross between a tent and a soft-sided beer cooler. That's where the baby rides. There's a zippered access door in the side. We're told there's a little five-point harness inside, too. Adorable.

They couldn't ride together, but once Evelyn arrives the girls might be placed side-by-side in the same isolette. This saves space in Peninsula's relatively tiny NICU, which they call "the SCN" for Special Care Nursery. Evelyn's not too far off from an open-air crib anyway.

I remember seeing the SCN here when Patrick and Charlie were born. It was adjacent to the elevator lobby, but the blinds were always closed, so you couldn't ever see in. I think I remember it seeming like a sad place. I never thought I would be happy to be here. Probably no one ever does.

What's new this morning?

The word is that they're being transported to Peninsula sometime this afternoon between 12 and 1. Based on our last experience with an ambulance between CPMC and Peninsula, I imagine the transportation process will take longer than estimated. But who cares?

We're told they'll be in the same ambulance, and will be accompanied by one of our very favorite NICU nurses. Whoo-hoo!
