waaaaaaah!

it's already going too fast!! nola is just 4 days old and i already miss her first 3 days :) i have had just about the most wonerful hospital stay i could ever imagine, and as excited as i am to be going home (i don't think i can go one more hour than i have to without seeing my big girl!!), i already know i'm going to miss this comfort and hospitality. every single nurse i've had has been exceptional (some i've like more than others, but there haven't been any that aren't amazing), i'm in love with their cranberry juice and ice machine, the food isn't great but at least we don't have to do anything to prepare it, and i don't know where i'm going to sleep at night that includes pushing buttons to adjust my comfort in bed!

:) all kidding aside, this whole birth experience has been night and day compared to avery. i haven't had one breakdown (minus the 12 hours it took for them to figure out they needed to change my pain medication), i've been happier and more content than i have in probably 10 months, even with the pain of recovery i don't miss being pregnant one ounce, breastfeeding once again is going crappily but i don't mind or feel guilty at all. this whole stay has made me appreciate (and learn from) everything i went through with avery in the hospital to the fullest...we both came out of it perfectly okay and have bonded and powered on through all the struggles. i can't wait to be home in a few hours and be around avery's little energy field again! will she ignore me? will she smother me? will she show off all the new things she's done in the last few days? will she poke the baby? i can't wait to find out :)

birth/hospital story, more pictures, more thoughts, more peace in bit once we're all settled. thanks for all the love, support, help and congratulations from everyone!
