Initially I was going to write a long drawn out post on all the things that went wrong at the Hospital. After a weeks worth of reflection I've decided against it. 90% of the time went well as the nursing staff was extremely helpful. I'll quickly summarize what we went through though. April's hemoglobin dropped to 5.9 after her c-section, which made for a long 5 and a half day recovery in the hospital. It lead to her passing out once, which was scary. She also had to deal with a poorly done IV, which missed her vein and caused a huge bubble to form under her skin. Lastly, nurses working at night in OB are usually very cranky due to being overworked and tired. Overall it wasn't the most fun recovery.
By Saturday we were both begging to be out of the hospital. The nursing staff was awesome and very nice, but you start to feel like you are trapped in a box. They finally discharged us around 7pm. The babies did great on their way home and didn't even make a peep.
Time to start our happy family life.
