Day 1 - continued. Our First Night.The morning my water broke Mike was supposed to go pick up Jessie - she wanted to be here for the birth. Luckily my water broke before he left, and not when he was a couple hours away.
Stuart offered to go get her, which was a big help. Mike went home in the morning to shower and get in a nap after such an exhausting experience. He came back to the hospital and brought some snacks and let me get in a shower while we waited for Stuart's phone call to meet him to get Jessie.
After Jess arrived and we all ate pizza around my hospital bed, the baby greeted Jess by projectile spitting up formula on her. Love ya sis!
My mom stopped by for a bit too. Mike and Jessie left to go home pretty late. It was just me and the baby for the night. I was kinda freaked out someone would come in a take her while I was sleeping. Not that I got much sleep. She wasn't fussy, but as I said I was a little worried about security, I had to keep on top of her feeding and changing schedule, and in general I have a hard time sleeping in strange places. So, instead of sleeping, we got to know each other a little better. This is when I fell in love with her. I think she was in the bassinet for a total of 20 minutes that night, and that was just for diaper changes and when I went pee myself. She's a total cuddle-buds. I thought I would be clueless with what to do with her, but it all came naturally and she thought I was a pro :)
