Yesterday was a big day. Lots of visits from Drs. and nurses at the hospital before we were discharged. Insurance would have allowed us to stay until Sat but Mom was getting restless. When I settled down for sleep in my bed at home I was desperately missing the electric adjustments of the hospital bed, the built in light switch, and the TV that hangs from the ceiling and adjusts to any position (see photo of Todd;). Luckily Todd has been a good stand-in as nurse - running up and down the stairs to refill my water and grab this and that - so far no complaints;)
Veda is eating very well and making lots of diapers - we have become expert changers. Her umbilical cord is a little pussy so we are watching that closely and have already talked to the Dr. We hope to avoid a trip to urgent care if we can. Yesterday I bit off her finger nails while she was sleeping. We were told to avoid the clippers as the chances were pretty good that we would take the tops of her fingers with the nails. She didn't seem to mind my nawing on her hands;)) She is not a fan of the little mittins so it was necessary;) We've also discovered that she loves to look out the window. Her chaning table is next to the window and we've positioned her bassinet so that she can gaze outside as well - she seems mezmorized by the light - it's quite cute. We might try a bath later and some tummy time as long as the umbilical cord won't rub against anything.
