Man oh man this week has been a whirlwind! But I guess thats to be expected!
We got home last night -- we decided to leave early. Who the heck can rest in the hospital!! I think my hospital is a little too over attentive. They say that visiting hours are 2-8:30 so mom can rest and bond with baby.....well, from about 6:45am until 2pm, there were probably 45 people in our room.... newborn hearing screening people, pediatricians, lactation consultants, volunteers asking if i need water, food people asking if i want to order food/wanting to take my tray, my midwife, my nurse, the nursing assistant ---- CRIPES! And I am sure more people were in and out but I just can't remember!
Anywho! So, I am recovering -- still pretty sore (stupid 1st degree tear!). I am so in love with my lil' man
DH is actually being the hormonal one -- he is crying and bonding
I feel perfectly the same. Although every single pregnancy issue has gone away (like heartburn) except my shortness of breath/heart palpitations. I actually think the palpitations are worse now. I have a 2 week PP appointment in like 11 days.
I have not lost much weight PP yet because i am retaining water and swelling up really badly. Although I was told that would happen since i was on pitocin for so long and had about 4 liters of fluids. I am still in pain although managed to go out and about today (needed a breast pump!)
J.J had his first ped appointment today and he did great -- perfectly healthy and no signs of juandice or anything. He's down to 7lbs, 3oz from 7lbs 12oz and we have a weight check again on Tuesday.
And thats my update for now
I shall leave you with:
