Home sweet home!

We are home! Enzo Fredric Anderst now joins our little family! This is how it all began...

Monday night went better than expected. I thought i would be nervous and scared but i was quite calm. I even told Peter that i truly could feel everyones prayers, so for those of you that were praying...THANK YOU! There was only one moment in the evening when i got emotional and that was after we put Rocco to bed. I was sad b.c i had to leave him for 3 days and I knew his life was going to change.
Tueaday morning arrives and we get up, get ready and head to the hospital. I sign in, they give me a gown and weird looking slippers and Peter and I are off to wait till they can find me a bed and send me down to the operating waiting room. At this point now they have assigned us a nursing student that by the end of the day I wanted to punch in the face. Miss eager beaver was fine at first and i had no problem with her being around...but then she was ALWAYS around. It was as if she was part of my experience and she just would not leave Peter and I alone. When I was waiting to go into the actual operating room i was obviously nervous and she was asking me if i needed to talk about my emotions...this is when Peter asked her to leave...it was awesome.
Anyways...then into the operating room i went! I was SOOOO scared for the needle, but everything went smoothly and then it was 9:48 am and i heard the most glorious cry! Enzo had arrived and everything was worth it for him.
The rest of out stay at the hospital was fine. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. It was healthy and quite delicious actually, and I was so thankful for that. The only down fall to our stay was that I had to share a room with 2 other families. Not so fun when one of the moms is puking her guts out and all i could do is pray it would end soon. Thankful we pushed hard to get out of the hospital after 48 hours and sure enough we were out of there by Thursday morning! It was so nice to see sunshine again!
Now it's been 4 days and things are going so great. Our first night home was a dream. Enzo woke up twice and after feeding, her went right back to sleep! Last night was not so good, but i don't feel that anxiety I did with Rocco. I know there are going to be sleepless nights, but I look at his face and it's so worth it to me! He is also a good napper...for now, so i do get to rest during the day.
Well, i should get to feeding my little munckin so i'll keep posting on how things are going!

  1. That's awesome, Ana! I'm so happy for you. I'm glad your C-section went well and that you even got to go home after only 2 days. Way to go! Does that mean that breast feeding is going well this time? i am sure hoping that it goes better for me the next time around!!! I laughed about your comments about your nursing student. My experience was that the nurses send the students to go and check your vitals (even though I was always fine) whenever they want to get rid of them, just to keep them busy! SOOO annoying. Especially when you have just finally gotten to sleep. Anyway, blessings on you and your boys! I look forward to meeting Enzo some day!
