Our Hospital Stay...

We got to our postpartum room at about 3:4o in the morning.

Once there we said good bye to Cassie (L&D nurse),
and Corey ("baby nurse" in L&D),
and said hello to Lauren - the night nurse taking care of both of us.
Just a few short hours later my doctor came through, circumcised Everett (6 hours old, POOR baby!!!!), and the pediatrician came through as well. Daddy went home to pick up Emily and tell her the good news - that baby Everett had arrived while she was sleeping - and brought her back to the hospital.
A little while later Mimi and Dele showed up. (Dele had come down to be at the house while Emily slept which allowed Mimi to be at the hospital for Everett's birth and our move to postpartum. Thank you, Dele!!)
Everett was pretty sleepy of course,
but did manage to grab hold of Daddy when he got the chance.

And Emily grabbed a hold of him EVERY chance she could get!!

Daddy and Mama enjoyed a "celebration dinner" for lunch - a pretty decent filet mignon complete with sparkling cider! (I wore my finest gown...)
Shortly after, Jeannette was in to give Everett his bath. Because he had already been circumcised he didn't get to have the full immersion bath that they typically give.


He did get a good and thorough wash though...
and was really happy to get his new shirt and hat...
and to be snuggled by Mama.
He also snuck in a nap with Daddy...
before Emily was back in the afternoon for more kisses...
and cuddles.
He was pretty sad when she left with Daddy for the night...
but seemed happy to know that Mama was planning to stay behind.
