Day three started off wonderful of my hospital stay! I told each nurse that came in that we were planning to leave around 3 that afternoon so I wanted to do all my discharge stuff as early as I could. I got a text from Zach pretty early saying that he and Kye were heading my way! They had a great time just the two of them... here's a video Zach took of the new game they played (and I've told my husband a MILLION times that you cannot flip a video...yet he still takes them this way...) I was able to get ready before they arrived :) I was SO excited to see Kye and he was THRILLED to see me. Zach said he was yelling in the car the whole way up to the hospital "MOMMMMY we're coming to SEEEE YOU!!!!" so sweet :) Me and My Boy! Mr Rusty was there at about the same time they came but only stayed a minute because I needed to nurse and the lactation specialist had come into the room to see me nurse so I couldn't be all covered up with a hooter hider. She said ev...
At around 11 (right about when Mr. Rusty and the grandmothers came to visit!) I was finally ready to "start the day" and felt SO much better to be clean!!! We had Brittlynn stay in the room with us for the day and she continued to do well with nursing. My nipples got a little sore but nothing major and I did end up asking for some lansinoh cream to put on them after she fed to help with the soreness. She was taking an hour to get a full feeding each time and she was nursing every 2-3 hours so basically I'd nurse, get an hour or so break, then nurse again! I felt a TON of contractions while nursing her and I was thankful for them. I didn't lose a single pound the first 8 weeks after I left the hospital when I had Kye. I'd always heard nursing helps drop the weight but it didn't help me a bit! I also never felt those contractions while feeding Kye so I was hopeful that feeling them while nursing Britt meant it'd help me drop some pounds sooner ;) Mommy...
After everyone left the room and Brittlynn went off to the nursery, it was time to get down to business. There are two things I really, really want right after giving birth. 1. OJ. Random, I know. But even the Bradley Method says to make sure you ask for orange juice after giving birth. I promise, it's the BEST oj you'll ever taste! and 2. Peanut butter crackers. Zach made them for me last time and they were AMAZING so I totally knew I'd want them again. Well the oj took forever to get to me as they were out of it in the place where they keep drinks for patients. Lucky for me, Elizabeth rocks and went and found some somewhere. I mentioned in the birth story that I was very dehydrated and because of that the peanut butter crackers weren't even able to go down. Boo. I did save them though and ate them at 3:00 in the morning one of the first nights we were home. Still equally delicious. Another issue was my motrin. They give you a motrin right after you give birth to h...
