About 2 hours after the kid was born, they moved us upstairs to the recovery room. Jen went instantly to sleep and I followed the kid to the nursery for his first check up. The doctor gave him a couple of vaccination injections, put some ointment in his eyes and gave him a bath. He handled most of that pretty well without a huge screaming scene.
The kid and Jen pretty much slept all day after that.
Basically Tuesday we had a revolving door on our room as every doctor, nurse, financial counselor, birth certificate expert, baby photo taker and "lactation consultant" visited during the day. It was truly comical at certain points, we literally had a line forming outside our room. So much for getting some rest.
We did have some feeding issues on Tuesday and so the angelic baby from Monday gave way to the screaming bundle of angst on Tuesday. We had a breakthrough late on Tuesday and the kid immediately calmed down.
Wednesday was time to checkout.
