Dad went home last night to take care of the dog and to bring the things we forgot at home. You stayed in my room all night and I probably spent the entire time looking at you. We tried to nurse. It was hard, but mostly you spend the night snuggled in my arms until the sun came up and we walked around the room and watched the sunrise. I began to cry thinking how thankful I am to have such a beautiful and perfectly healthy little girl I had. We called and woke up Dad. He came down and hung out for a few hours before he had to go to school. Grandma Lyman came over for a few hours to keep me company and to cuddle you.
Doctors and nurses came in and out to check on us. It gave us very little alone time.
We had so many visitors! Great Grandma and Grandpa Powell, Candace Bonsteel, Calix Robinson, Katrina Davenport, and Shaun and Rachel Hughes.
Uncle Nate came the next day to visit before you went home.
Dad spent the night that night. Again you just slept the night away and we loved every minute. Dad and I had milk and cookies at midnight to celebrate and then tried to get some sleep. Which is hard when nurses are bugging you all the time. I LOVED my night time nurses. The day time ones not so much. Mostly they never checked on me and I thought they were a little rude but thats ok.
Confessions of a first time mom. If pregnancy and children came with an instruction manual these are the things that I wish would be included...
