Today was a pretty eventful day! I got up and got dressed in regular clothes (since hospital gowns are not the most attractive thing to wear) and went to see Rowan in the morning. It was a looong walk over to the nursery, I was determined to do it without a wheelchair. When I got there, I realized I forgot a part for the breastpump, so I had to go all the way back to my room, then come all the way back to Rowan’s room. I was shocked to see a thing in his head and was worried. It turns out it was just the IV, and they couldn’t get another site. Poor baby! I held him for a couple hours then went back to my room for lunch. I saw Dr. Hamilton and she officially discharged me. I ate some lunch, got the staples out from my stomach. I thought it would be horribly painful, but I could barely feel it. Then I came back to Rowan’s room to await the arrival of Elijah. He came at about 3:30pm and I finally got to hold him! Michael emptied out my old room and moved everything to the nursery room. The only bad thing about this room is that we can’t use our cell phones. It’s not all that important now, since we are all together. After that, we both went home to drop off some stuff, visit the cats, and picked up some dinner. It was the first time that I left the hospital since checking in last week. It was surreal! We came back, ate, and I started learning how to feed both of them. Since I’m not producing any milk yet, I practice getting them to latch on, feeding them some formula, and then try to pump. Rowan is more aggressive with the latching than Elijah, but I’m sure we will get it down soon. Both of them are so cozy when they are swaddled, that I have to unwrap them and wake them up to get them to eat. The night nurse, Nicky, was very nice and patient and taught me a lot. Michael got the night off since he has been runnning ragged for a week. He won’t get off so easy after tonight!
