I was in the hospital from the 6th (although technically the 5th but was sent home) until Monday the 10th. I am so glad I stayed that long since I needed all the help I could get while recovering. I had an IV that administered morphine, fluids, and Benadryl from the time I was admitted until the morning of the 7th (Friday). Once all of that got taken out I had to walk to the bathroom for the first time and it felt like it was a mile away. My legs and feet ended up extremely swollen from all the fluids and pain medicine I was on and it took a week for them to go back to normal. I had a hard time walking partly because of how big my feet were! The few days in the hospital all became mushed together between visitors, all the doctors and nurses checking on the both us constantly, and having to walk the halls of the hospital. I was very grateful on Sunday when I had a nurse named Jackie who was also the lactation specialist there. She was super young, beautiful, and extremely helpful! My milk came in on Sunday which was perfect so that she could ensure I was getting a proper latch. I must say that because of her I am no longer in pain when I nurse! Thanks Jackie!
Corey and I got to bring Jensen home on Monday the 10th and we were extremely excited to finally be leaving the hospital! We were also starving so we stopped at McDonalds on the way home. We got home around 11:30ish and continued to rest and put things away the rest of the day.
