Its been about 4 weeks since Lily was born and this is the first time I have really been able to sit down and type some stuff about it. Below are some thoughts from the day she was born.
1. While sitting at the hospital, I couldn't stand having the baby heart monitor right there. Every time the heartbeat slowed down, my heartbeat sped up.
2. The nurses we had were amazing. They are the real difference makers.
3. My wife is tough as nails. Going all the way through labor and then at the last minute having to have a C-Section.
4. The first noise we heard come out of Lily was pretty incredible.
5. After Lily was cleaned up and we were in our recovery room, the nurse brought her in and said, "Be sure to try and feed her every 2 hours, here is a paper to track her bathroom progress." Then turned around and left. Ummmm you got any more advice there nurse?
6. The black tar-like substance babies poop out for the first day or so...fascinating.
7. Every little sound she made those first nights caused me to rocket out of bed like the world was ending.
8. My wife is an amazing mom and being a dad is pretty cool.
