Things got off to an early start today at around 7am when I awoke to about five nurses bustling about the room doing something. I think it was a shift change. Our first nurse, Laurie, from when we checked in until this morning was absolutely fantastic. She helped Dana through the thick of it, and then took stellar care of her afterwards. She even helped me out a bit.
This morning our nurse Suzie is cheerful and friendly. She showed us how to change a diaper.
Dana lost quite a healthy bit of blood during the afterbirth, so she's on an IV this morning. She can't get up and walk around just yet, but probably by the end of the day she'll be tottering around.
The staff pediatrician came by this morning and gave Alex a thorough once-over. Everything looks fine, including his eyes, which don't have any obvious signs of cataracts. (Cataracts run in the Stangel family).
More after a shower, or nap, or food... I'm beginning to believe that sleep is a precious commodity. I'll find out when I get some.
