William is Home!!!

Yesterday, Wednesday, June 17, 2009, we asked if we could go home since I was feeling fine and if the next pediatrician exam said that William was a healthy little boy. They said that would be fine and around 10 am, the pediatrician examined him and said he's a perfectly healthy baby. :) At that time we also asked one of the nurses how to bathe him and I got to bathe him as she described what to do. William was a trooper through it all. And it helped me to realize how fast he'll get cold after a bath, as his hands started turning blue once he was out of the water!! So, quick dressing after a bath has been learned early!!!!

And so, we arrived home around 11:30 am yesterday. It is so great being home and William is learning where he'll be living now. (He is LOVING the pack n'play many of our friends gave money towards as a shower gift!! So, THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!) Our first night with him here gave us quite a lack of sleep, but since neither one of us is working now (being a teacher is GREAT!), it's been great to sleep in (once William did sleep) and/or take a nap whenever William naps.

For many who are wondering how I'm doing after having a C-section, I am doing SURPRISINGLY well. I figured major abdominal surgery would slow me down quite a bit, but the more I move, the less I find that I am stiff and sore. Since Justin witnessed the C-section, he was telling me about the experience and he said they did a great job, very efficient and quick. I'm sure I owe the way I feel now to an exceptional staff at Telki Hospital! And William is helping me out with moving! :) I'm doing pretty normal things, with the exception of taking naps. I never was a nap-taker, just ask Justin.

So, the moment you've all been waiting for...more pictures!

Justin's mom got us this Boppy and I love it! It makes nursing SO easy!

Here we are a minute from leaving the hospital. The blanket was from my parents and helped shade him on the way home. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Some wonderful nurses at Telki. Wish I thought to take a picture of them everyday since they rotated shifts every twelve hours. So, there were several nurses that helped us with William. The nurse on the left helped show me how to bathe him. :)
