Wally sleeping on Papa's chest |
I think overall we've had a pretty successful time at home. We all came home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. I was still pretty sore and not very mobile for the first 4 days, but every day gets a little better. Wally and I had an in-home nurse checkup on Thursday and we are both healthy. Wally has already gained 4 oz since leaving the hospital! He has a little Jaundice, which I think is pretty common, and it's especially noticable in his face and upper chest but is slowly draining. I spent the week on my "mommy chair" - a burgundy recliner - while Brian was buzzing around getting all kinds of projects done. He put a screen door on Wally's room (so the animals will stay out but we can still see in), sold a bunch of odds and ends on craigslist, did all the grocery shopping and errand running, researched all kinds of safety things, etc. I slept.
Thanks to everyone who has been bringing us food, it has been a godsend! Our fridge is fully stocked, I feel like I live at a restaurant where there are several choices for each meal. It has been such a huge help!
