Got home from the hospital on Friday. They discharged me a day early because I was progressing well and ready to get out of there. Tim was great and kept everyone updated on the blog with some cute pictures we took at the hospital. I'm sure there will be many more to come!
I remember when I was pregnant with Sophie and everyone would always tell me how dramatically my life was going to change and they would tell me to "get your sleep now" and "say good-bye to your social life." Of course I took them seriously, but it was also at the same time a part of me was telling them to shut up. But now, I give the same advice to soon-to-be mothers without even thinking twice. Now that I am a mother of two (for five whole days now, it gives me clearance to claim I'm an expert, right?), I SO understand when parents kept telling me it isn't twice as hard having two....it's TEN times as hard!!! I've been walking around like a zombie for the past couple of days. Tim and I probably have a combined 5 hours of sleep since Friday, and that's not including my sleepless nights in the hospital.
But, on the positive side, I've come to many interesting conclusions with all this time spent awake. I've learned they now replay the Tonight Show at 3 in the morning and that Jimmy Kimmel has really come around to be a pretty good talk show host. I've also learned that 19 hours straight is a bit too long to wear my contact lenses, but 16-17 is manageable. I've learned that Tim scratches his head very fast and hard when he's frustrated with the sound of a crying baby. I've also learned why Vicodin can become such an addiction for so many people out there...it's good stuff; it makes this whole situation a bit funnier when you're feeling less pain!
Anyway, we are alive, healthy, and making it day by day! Hopefully, we'll get some sort of schedule figured out and find a way to survive it all!!
