We spent 3 nights in the hospital and it was a chance to recover, but also to spend time and get used to having a newborn in our life. The first night had us a little worried as you seemed to not be sure you were happy to be out! We tried to put you down to sleep with no avail and instead you slept and nursed in my arms the whole night The second and third night we utilized the nursery and they brought you in every two hours during the night for nursing. It was definitely a taste of life to come! I loved having the time to just hold you and get to know you. We also got to see you get your first bath from one of the nurses as well as have some friends and family visit and meet you.
On Saturday, we got to take you home! We were definitely ready to bring our little family home and I think Bradley was excited to sleep on a bed! We put you in your new outfit (hand-picked by mom!) and it was kind of surreal to wheel you out of the hospital.
So, we've been home for almost 3 full days and it is amazing! We definitely aren't getting the sleep we used to, but last night was successful in that even though baby was up every two hours (on the dot) to feed, I was actually able to sleep in bed in between. Everything is going well and we are getting used to our wonderful new "normal." Sunday we even took you out for the first time to Caribou for coffee and chai - you love being pushed in the stroller!
One of my favorite things is seeing you with your dad - you are very lucky, Samuel! Seeing him hold you and hang out with you and talk to you is the sweetest thing.
All I can say is that I feel so blessed - life just keeps getting sweeter and becoming a wife and mom have been the best moments so far!
