First I want to say how much I love Hoag. The nurses are amazing, the food is good and the rooms have a pretty nice view :) I felt like I was totally taken care of and the nurses were really on top of making sure I was healing well and my pain was kept under control. They were so good with Davis and gave me all sorts of tips I had never heard before.
Our stay this time seemed much more calm. We were there 5 days and 4 nights which sounds like a long time, but when you are healing from a c-section and have a toddler to tend to at home, every day counts. My doctor is the one who suggested we stay until Monday or Tues. By Monday I was ready to head home.
Day 1 I could barely walk or get out of bed, but by the time I went home I was getting around pretty good. I even spent the last 2 nights alone with the baby and was able to take care of him with out much help from the nurses. Also, those last 2 days the nurses really let me rest as much as possible and only came in occasionally to check on us or give me meds. Davis was pretty easy too. I remember not sleeping for days when James was born, but this time I snuck in a few hours here and there. Maybe we were just more relaxed this time. I know Haws says he was. I don't remember being too worried with James but didn't really know what I was doing. I had one night nurse (Danielle) 3 nights in a row who I felt like became a friend. She loved coming in to see Davis and chat with me and it helped on those lonely nights when Haws was gone. When we left she gave us all big hugs. I hope the next time I am there I have her again :)
This is us the first day in our room. I was pretty loopy this whole day, but loved having visitors, even if I don't remember everything.
Grandmama and Pops came to see Davis. Grandmama was a little under the weather and I felt bad that she didn't hold Davis. Uncle Wade came with them too but somehow I didn't get a picture.Nana came and brought James who she was watching for us while we were in the hospital.
My dad came the next afternoon. He had been out of town, but came straight to the hospital to meet Davis when he got back.
Great Grandma Davis meeting another one of her great grandchildren. I don't even know what number this is, but it's gotta be close to 20.

Dad entertaining James during the first visit. James was excited to see the baby, but I think the room and iPad were more exciting :)

You look wonderful Lori, and baby Davis is so so cute! Thank you for sharing your birth and recovery stories. I can't wait to meet your new little man!
So sweet! You look great, Lori! We had the same experience with a night nurse there...Danielle. She was the absolute best and I was kind of sad to leave knowing that was our last time in the Mother/Baby unit. Anyways, sweet Davis is a little doll!
Congrats! He is so perfect! I hope you are getting some rest and can't wait to meet him!
