In slightly-longer:
- Vera met these people before she even came home: Grandpa Victor, Grandma Cathy, brother Griffin, Grandpa Tim, friends Martha, Carrie, Carrie, April, Cate, Bren (also the world's best babysitter). Maybe some more - sorry if I've missed any visitors.
- The nurses at Salem hospital birth place are awesome. Full stop.
- Vera stayed with us in the room from 7am until about 10pm each day. Then we put her in the nursery between night feeds. We love her and want to be the best parents we can for her, so sleep when we can get it is good.
- Vicki was up on her feet within 12 hours of the surgery. She walked around the maternity wing on day 3 and did multiple laps on day 4.
- Vera bottomed out on weight after about 2 days (something in the 8lbs and change range) and then started gaining again. Woo hoo! V and v are both good at the feeding/eating relationship.
- I stayed with Vicki all the nights she was in the hospital after delivery. On the first night, she was in pretty bad pain and said it was just nice to know I was there. And, this is one of the only times in our lives that its likely to be Vera/Mom/Dad for a while.
