Baby Scotty: Peace & Quiet & Hospital Dates

One thing I appreciated at the hospital was peace and quiet. Despite nurses coming in at all hours of the day, it was a different type of noise from what I’m used to at home. I didn’t turn the tv on (well, except when Jimmy watched the BYU game). I just enjoyed the silence. Even when baby Scotty was in my room, he still was a quiet little bug. I took the opportunity to rest and sleep and rest some more. When I came home from the hospital my poor hearing senses were on overload with all 5 kids talking to me at once.Kinda silly pictures… but the leg huggers & signs were my view most of my time at the hospital. Plus, I loved the plush flip-flops I found on clearance to wear at the hospital. They accompanied me on many walks around the 2nd floor to ease my digestion troubles associated with c-section woes. Boo-hoo.

The other benefit to a longer hospital stay was time spent with Jimmy. He was able to be at the hospital a lot because his mom was home with the kiddos day/night. We had a dinner date. We watched a few movies on netflix. We shared chocolate chip cookies. The nurse brought us microwave popcorn in the pink barf bucket! Haha… at least it was clean. It was fun to get to be with him and Scotty.
p.s. My favorite meals were salmon, mashed sweet potatoes, chocolate chip cookies, salad, fresh fruit. For lunch I liked the Chicken Caesar Salad. For breakfast I had breakfast potatoes with a blueberry muffin, a yogurt granola parfait, and fresh fruit.
