Hospital Stay Days 2 & 3

On Wednesday we decided to play dress up. She looks so pretty in pink!

 Adam and Tessa came back for another visit!

 We had more visitors over the next 2 days. My Mom came and spent the mornings with me while Eric went home and got Adam off to school. Mamma would pick Adam up from school, then bring the kids by to visit, and then watched them in the afternoons. My sister Katy spent the nights with them. We had so much help from everyone and we so appreciated it!

Our other visitors included Katy, Uncle Ben, Livvy, Mindee, Kara, Maggie, Eliza, John, and Jodi.

My nurses during they day were less than helpful, but my nurses at night were amazing! My nurse the last 2 nights was Dina and she was fabulous! She took such good care of us, I can't even begin to write enough good things about her. She will never see this, but I just had to express how grateful I am for her kindness. She was one awesome nurse!!

On Friday we loaded everything up and once they plucked the staples out of my tummy, we brought our beautiful baby girl home. Our lives are forever changed, and for that, we are thankful! We feel so blessed to have 3 healthy and happy kids! We couldn't ask for anything more.

Birthday Day at the Hospital (Tuesday)

 We were grateful to be so close to family for Gwen's birth! We had so many visitors during our hospital stay and felt so much love and support from everyone!

 When my youngest brother Andrew was born, my other siblings used my Mom's hospital bed as a jungle gym when we went to visit her and the baby in the hospital. Matt and David found they could make a lot of noise by blowing into the bottom of the bed. This drove my Mom crazy and she eventually asked my Dad to take everyone home because having my brothers there was far from relaxing. We all had a good laugh when my kids discovered the same noise maker in my hospital bed and went to town making all the noise they could. It's nice they make hospital beds to kid friendly!

It was a busy day and exhausting day! I was so thankful to have a wonderful Nurse (Cami) that night who gave me and Gwen some much needed tender loving care.
