Fun times in the hospital

So because I had surgery I was kept at the hospital all week long. You know, in the beginning, I remember thinking "I'm going to stay in the hospital as long as I possibly can!" Well after the third day I was done! I spent 5 days in the hospital and was so ready to come home! We had lots of visitors but when you are confined to the hospital bed for 2 days it makes your time there really boring!!! Thank goodness for my mom's laptop and all the friends and family members that came to visit us all the time. Hudson even had the chief of police come to visit him in the hospital, actually lots of officers came, we were the talk of the hospital, everyone wondering why all the cops are coming up to the hospital. It was a good laugh for us. The days really are a blur, I couldn't tell you what day was what while we were there. During days we kept Hudson in our room, at night time we sent him to the nursery in between feedings so we could get some rest, the papmering was quite nice!! We had some awesome nurses too, at the push of a button they were at my beck and call with whatever I needed or wanted. My first night after he was born, my night nurse finally was able to sneak me some broth, it was the best damn broth I have ever tasted!!! The next day my nurse was able to get me on solid foods by lunch time and ordered me a grilled chicken sandwich and it was sure yummy! Friday finally came and we knew that we were going to be able to go home! I couldn't wait. I was ready to go around 9am, my nurse informed me that discharges usually took place between the hours of 10:00am and 1:00pm so I knew I would be home by lunch or shortly after...well we came marching in around 4:00pm. Lots of babies were being born and things just got really hectic at the hospital and unfortunately we were the ones that took second chair to it all. Hudson was so tiny, the newborn outfit we took just swallowed him, I know they grow up so fast but oh my he was so tiny! He looks so small in his car seat, I was scared the whole drive home that something would happen to him in that car seat because it seemed so big for him but the nurses assured me that everything was fine with him and even though he was tiny, he would be ok.

All 6 pounds 13 ounces of him...so tiny in that car seat!

So excited to be heading home!!

He wasn't as thrilled as we were about being home...he was hungry!



We are glad to be home now, we know the first few days will be filled with visitors but Jason and I are just ready to be parents to our sweet lil' not-so-chunky monkey. Our first real test is going to be this evening, our first night with him...can't call the nursery tonight to send him off once we are done feeding...EEEK!
