The first night at the hospital we had him stay in the nursery for a few hours so we could get some sleep. He was still spitting up amniotic fluid and I was nervous he would need our help and we would be asleep. The nurses said he was the best baby in the nursery and slept the whole time. The next night he slept in his hospital crib right next to me. He is an excellent sleeper. He usually sleeps for about 4 hours until he gets hungry. After eating I lay him back in his bassinet, wind up his favorite musical giraffe and he falls back asleep.
He really enjoys music. His favorite song is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. That may be because it's the only children's song I know that doesn't include a cradle falling out of a tree. We don't sing that one, I don't want to scare him. Either way, he enjoys it.
He spends most of his time sleeping but I still seem to not get anything done. My favorite pass time is cuddling with him. I've been been doing a lot of that lately because I'm trying to take it easy so I can heal. I'm not sure why, but I never thought about the recovery time. Yesterday we had a full day of outings and I think I overdid it. By the end of the day I didn't feel well at all. It was a good reminder to take it easy, which is exactly what I did today.
Every time I look at his little face I feel so blessed. He is just perfect. I'm excited to spend the next several weeks at home with him.
