First Few Days with Liam

All ready to go home
Chris, Liam and I were in the hospital until May 12, 2012. The couple of days in the hospital consisted of walking the halls, scheduled medications, and lots of visitors.  Usually with a c-section you have to stay in the hospital for 4 days, but thankfully my doctor said as soon as I could walk, eat, pee, and pass gas I could go home. I was so glad to finally get out of the hospital.

The first couple days are really a blur. I was still in a lot of pain from the c-section. Thankfully my mom was able to stay with us for about a week. She really helped. She made us food and got up early with Liam so Chris and I could sleep. It was so nice to have her there. Especially when Chris went back to work.

Liam's billirubin test was barely high, but the doctor made us go back 2 days in a row to have it tested. So we had him sun bathe to help it get lower. After the 2 days he was fine.

Chris' Mom lives in Cedar City and was able to come down and visit quite a bit. This is her first grandbaby so she was so excited to come hold him.

Liam's first bath. He loved it. As soon as we put the warm water over him he calmed right down. To this day he loves his baths.

A lot of time was spent on the couch watching TV and just hanging out. It was so nice to have him home and be able to relax (as much as you can relax with a new baby and recovering from major surgery).
