Sorry ladies for being a total AW but I kinda feel the need!!
After 5 long weeks in the hospital we are both home!!! A wild road from L&D to a traumatic birth to the NICU, high BP and everything in between we finally got to sleep in our own beds!!
We spent most of yesterday getting a few things like premi diapers, groceries and my dr appointment we settled in.
It looked like the hospital through up in my house. Bags every where. Dirty clothes, flowers, gifts and crap.
We decided that can wait. My mom did come over and helped but we are going to just enjoy us time. SO took another week off to help me and bond with us. Still trying to get the breast feeding thing down. I was so scared to BF in the NICU because I didn't want to be the reason she didn't gain weight. We will get it. I know we will.
She slept amazing. We have to set an alarm to feed her. Dr said no more then 3 hrs for the first week then can go 4 at night. She has some catching up to do.
This morning I was waiting for the staff to wake us up when rounding... Lol.
I'm excited to share pictures. I promise to finish my birth story now I know the ending is amazing!!
Thanks to everyone for your support and kind words. I'm trying to move forward and will get there in time.
