First Days

Never thought we'd have first days home twice! We got home later in the afternoon, so most everyone waited to come till the next day. Josie was born on November 16th, a Tuesday....and we were home the next day around 6:00.

I have to say, the recovery was horrendous. I would much rather recover from a C-Section like with Wyatt....it hurt terribly to do anything. Hurt to sit, walk, go potty, shower, even laying down was difficult. Dr. Iobst did say, had he known how big she really was, he would have done a repeat C-Section. The last U/S for her estimated weight around 7lb 9oz, which was just a little bigger than Wyatt was....blahahaha...jokes on me!

Josie, however did great! She slept most of the time, and since I breast fed her...she was busy eating the rest of the time. She was just beautiful, her little head full of dark, almost-black hair.

I know I was hormonal, and acting like a really big beeatch, but thank the Lord for my Mother. Grammy came and stayed with us for the 2 weeks. Richard was home the first week, so she came for weeks 2 and 3! I was horrible to her, and looking back, I am so ashamed. I found out at my 6 week check up that I had mild Post Partum Depression.... and was a total wreck.  I know she was about ready to hitch a ride back to Orlando, but for sticking it out with me, I thank and love her!

Wyatt was awful, ugly, BAD! He knew he had a sister coming, but once we brought her home, he went nuts. He showed out every chance he got. At first, I thought to myself...what in the hell have I done? It took about 5 weeks, and he was, for the most part, back to normal! He spent a lot of time with Moon in the first few days. I guess he felt safer with her, knowing that she wasn't going to go and bring a new little person home with her.

 

Even through the rough patches, I would go back and do it all over again....I love my babies!
