Today was a bit of a crazy day. I didn't get a ton of visitors this morning which was ok by me because I wanted to hang out with Mom and Dad. Mom is still in a ton of pain but Dad is taking such awesome care of her! Dad swaddled me today after he changed my diaper and the nurse was so impressed by how well he had done it! she said that she hasn't ever seen a first time dad do it that well. I knew that Dad had been practicing (even though he probably wouldn't admit it).
Just as I was about to eat breakfast around 9am, a nurse came in to take me to see the Pediatrician who was making the rounds. They wisked me away (on an empty belly no less) to see the dr. After about 45 minutes, Mom and Dad came looking for me because they missed me and felt i had been gone for way to long (which is apparently about :30 sec). They very slowly walked down the hall to the nursery (Mom still can't move very well or very fast). Once they got to the nursery they spotted me and kept trying to get my attention. I was too far away and I was trying to tell the nurse that I was done and to let me go see Mom and Dad. The nurse wasn't NOT listening. Anyway, Mom and Dad were able to get the nurses attention and she came out and said that the Dr. had been called away on some sort of emergency. While I was glad that it had nothing to do with me, I was really annoyed that i had been in that nursery without Mom and Dad and for nothing! The nurse asked Dad if they wanted to take me and he said yes of course! The nurse then wheeled my bassinet to him and I was so happy! I had been sprung.
We very slowly walked back to the room but I didn't care. Once we got back to the room, Dad changed my diaper again and I had some snuggle time with Mom and Dad.
After lunch, the Medela / Nursing bra people came in to see if Mom needed anything to feed me. Mom already had the pump, which she got from the McMahon's, but needed nursing bras. She was measured and picked out two. I told her she'd need more, but she didn't listen. Going to have to work on that with her too! Sheesh.
During the time the Medela person was there, we got visits from the hospital photographer, the massage therapist and some nurses.
The massage therapist saw that there were a TON of people there and so she left. Mom and Dad thought she'd come back but she didn't. That's ok, I'm sure Dad will give her an even better massage than what the other lady could do.
The photographer came by to take some photos of me. I knew that I was destined to be a star! The photographer got some cute shots. Wouldn't say that they were amazing or anything, but they were cute because I'm in 'em! Mom and Dad went ahead and ordered a package of the photos anyway.
After my photo shoot, Mom fed me again and then I was snatched up by the nurse again to get checked out by the Dr. who had returned. At least this time I had some nosh in my belly. Luckily, Mom and Dad didn't have to rescue me again. I was back in about 15 minutes.
Mumsie came by to see me. She held me and took some more photos. She also brought her laptop so that Mom and Dad could try to connect to the internet.It wasn''t working with Mom's mac or with Dad's laptop. I know Mom wanted to send photos to people and to try the video convo with Mike, LN and RyR.
Nana also came to see me. She had come straight from the eye doctor and her eyes were all dialted because of the drops. I tried to tell her that driving is NOT a good idea if you can see!
You can tell that all of these adults desperately need me to tell them these things. It's a lot of pressure on a 1 and half day old baby girl.
