Hospital Stay

Since I had a c-section, I got a longer recovery in the hospital than I expected to have. And to be honest, I kind of loved it. Yes by the end I was ready to go home and sleep in my own bed… but I really enjoyed my hospital stay. I had my baby right there next to me, and I had food being brought up to me all the time. I seriously ate so much of their macaroni and cheese!

Each of Joseph's siblings came to visit, and it was fun to see them all meet their newest nephew. My mom came up that last day and helped me check out and then stayed with us after for a few weeks.

We had a couple of scares that first few days. He stopped breathing a couple times and was rushed off once because of it. We had a nurse tell us he wasn't eating and losing a lot of weight when he wasn't. And he had a really hard time eating from me so we were struggling with that for a long time.

Here are some pictures of him that first few days.
