For mobile users: What's the first thing you did with LO when you got home?

Now my due date has passed so I'm counting down till my induction date. I'm getting so excited for her to come and can't wait to bring her home and start our lives together. I'm curious what all the ladies who are already mommies did when you got home with LO after you left the hospital? Anyone do anything fun or did you just take a nap? Try to adjust older sibs or pets to LO? Please share!

Got my spot in bed all set up. Started to nurse her and my Mom laughed (a sweet, doting laugh) as she wiggled around and attempted to latch (off and on... ie. PAIN!) and I started bawling and told her to get out, to which she didn't as she didn't think I was serious, and I made it clear that I was serious and then I cried more because I felt really bad for being rude, on top of the pain, on top of goodness knows what else!

Coming home was stressful and I hadn't eaten in like... many many hours and I was a shaky, anxious, uncomfortable mess. But I was SOOOOOOO happy to be home.

Breastfed, tried to eat some food, rest repeat. I couldn't find 5 minutes to do anything else.

We had the boys hang out together, then I handed the baby off to my mom and had some playtime with DS before putting him down for a nap. I took a nap too.

We got home at night and have two children at home so it was business as usual..make dinner, clean up, bathtime, watch a little tv..

She met the neighbors, not planned but they were all out in the cul-d-sac when we pulled in. Then we put her down for a nap in her room.

My parents were here and they took some pictures as soon as we pulled in the driveway. Nola napped on me, we ate Chick-fil-a, and after that I have no clue! I'm pretty sure I just sat there looking at her thinking to myself "ok, what do we do now?".

My MIL managed to stress the sh!t out of me the moment I walked in the door, so emotional me went to bed, fed the baby and cried like a little girl. It was awesome.

Day 2 at home was much better.
