The Hospital Stay

Our hospital stay was a nice experience overall.  The nurses did a wonderful job taking care of all of us.  Chuck was such a wonderful husband.  He stayed with me the entire time even though the couch wasn't long enough for him.  I told him to go home and get some rest on the second night, but ended up chickening out due to worriment over Emerson. 

On Thursday October 11, 2012 - We were informed that he had failed his hearing test twice.  We thought everything was fine with Emerson after worrying about his heart during pregnancy and delivering what to seemed to be a healthy baby boy.  So now we had to worry about our little guy's hearing.  We were told that we needed to make an appointment the following week for a followup check.  This is all that we could think about for the next week.  We were also informed that our little guy needed a stitch during his circumcision due to the amount of blood there was and he wasn't clotting.  They ran some tests to see what his blood count was and other blood work to make sure everything was ok with him.  The tests results showed everything was just fine.   Due to Emerson having a stitch the nurses informed us they were going to change his diapers.  That didn't bother Chuck and I one bit!!

On Friday October 12, 2012 - we were ready to leave the hospital and make the journey home.  We were very nervous about going home, as both Chuck and I had zero experience with babies.  Both of us had still not changed a diaper yet, IN OUR ENTIRE LIVES.  So that was scary enough!!! We had to ask our nurse if we had Emerson in the carseat correctly as well!!  Man I thought we are in trouble when we get home!!
