Hospital Stay

We were in the hospital from Monday night to Thursday night. It was a really rough healing process. And poor Michael slept on the fold-out couch. Time in the hospital was really confusing. I was getting used to so many things and was on a lot of drugs and the nurses were all telling me different things. I wish we didn't have to stay so long, but once I got home, I kind of missed having other people taking care of me and my baby.

My feet were super swollen by the last day in the hospital. I was told it was the I.V. fluids.

I had 29 of these little staples in my stomach. GROSS!

Some Birth Day Pictures

This is me... pretending to look happy.

Walking back to check-in.

Here's Michael's perspective of the birth.

Here are the first few family pictures.

Baby Preston has a football-shaped head from his breech position. The nurse told Michael that his head would get back to normal in a few weeks. Neither of us had even noticed that there was anything wrong with his head when she said this. We were both confused. haha.

Sadly, there are no pictures of me holding Preston on his birthday. I was super drugged up and for some reason, I didn't hold him much. I am kind of sad about this.
