A is for Andrew: Hospital Stay

Our hospital stay with Andrew was much less eventful than the stay with Victoria. He was born super healthy, and other than needing a trip to the transition nursery, he got to stay in the room with us.

After my surgery was complete I went to the recovery area where Philip and Andrew were waiting for me. Andrew and Philip had gone up to the transition nursery, but were sent back to recovery because what they needed to do with him could be done from the room.

While in recovery Andrew was making grunting noises. Philip and I thought it was super cute. Turns out, it was amniotic fluid in his lungs. The nurses took him to the transition nursery to monitor him until this stopped. We ended up having to wait in recovery for 6 hours for a postpartum room because the hospital was FULL!! So crazy to me. I got a liquid meal, and Philip went and got breakfast at the cafeteria. Because we would have to wait so long for a room, Philip's parents went to Disney (they were actually here on a Disney trip with the Rankins- perfect timing!) and my parents went to the house to take over on Victoria duty for the day and night.

Once we were in a room and had the baby we started getting our visitors!

Our first visitor was Victoria. She was hesitant about her new baby brother, but started to show more interest as her visit went on. Grandma and grandpa dressed her up in a cute pink dress to come meet Andrew for the first time. (mind you, I bought her a big sister shirt for this occasion, but hey)

This was truly a very exhausting day, as anyone can imagine. After the visitors left we settled in for the night.

Day two brought Andrew getting more antibiotics incase he got an infection from my fever, a bath for him, his circumcision, and more visitors. After going to the nursery for his medicine and procedure, he came back with this super cute hat!

Day 3 in the hospital was less busy. Basically keeping up with my medicine, relaxing, and getting to know Andrew. Victoria was staying at home with Nana and Papa now, so they came by again. Victoria got a little more curious about Andrew, but still didn't want to sit with him or hold him.
