We got home a couple hours ago, the kids were already asleep. I'm feeling okay, I stayed up until 5:30 AM last night because I was so excited, the adrenaline rush post-birth is unreal. I slept until 2, waking up to feed her whenever she was hungry. Her Grandmas hung out with her so I didn't have to send her to the nursery. The hospital said I could stay two more nights if I wanted, and I actually considered staying, at least tonight, but then I counted the number of times they've checked something, usually every 90 minutes, and I decided I would be more comfortable at home. So we left at 7:50, and stopped at Panera, Nick ran in to get our order and I breastfed in the back seat. We got home a few minutes after the kids fell asleep, which was great because if they'd seen us come in tonight they'd still be up and excited and I would be dead. So I'm glad it worked out this way.
For now we're relaxing. Nick is sleeping, because he hasn't slept at all since I went into labor on Sunday. I'm resting, breastfeeding, sending out e-mails, addressing the envelopes for my Thank You cards, and picking out birth announcement cards. Gotta love this post-birth energy rush!
We've named her! We've got to make a few phone calls, but right after that I'll announce it here for far-away family members who aren't getting phone calls!
