Recovery

After all the excitement of the labor and delivery it was time to rest and enjoy our new sweet baby girl. The hospital was pretty busy as well so we had to wait until about eight in the evening to be moved to out recovery room. 
The hospital experience here was really really nice and we all had a positive experience here:) It also had a nice big room with with comfy queen size beds. A much added plus compared to the uncomfortable hospital beds. 
The staff was also very nice and for the most part left you alone, with is a big bonus in my book. Because I didn't take any pain meds after the birth I really only seen the nurses when they changed shifts and in the morning when they came in to check my vitals.
The boys really enjoyed climbing up on the bed next to me and holding and enjoying their new baby sister. 
Because Thomas was at school most of the two days I was there he would come up and spend the evenings with us. Eric would take the boys home and get them ready for the next day and stay at home with them while Kris stayed up at the hospital with me. It was so nice having her there with me to help with the baby at night so I could rest a little bit and recover from the delivery. 
The last evening I was there the hospital gives you and your family a little birthday party to celebrate your new addition. They brought us a little cake and some drinks so we could have a little birthday party for our Olivia :) The boys thought it was pretty exciting!
