First full day with Reed!

Shortly after I posted the last post, the boredom I was feeling quickly changed and didn't stop until we went home! Our first visitors arrived around 9:30 am on Friday and we were never in the room alone all day! The day was great, we were so excited to show off Reed and I was happy to be able to see and talk to friends and family without being numb and loopy!

My doctor arrived around 10:00 and gave her orders that I was okay to get out of bed if I wanted and I couldn't wait. As soon as she left the room I called for a nurse to come get things started! I was up in a matter of no time and had Josh helping me get a shower. I felt so much better after having a shower and getting dressed in my own clothes. My nurses were shocked at how well I was recovery. I had funny comments from the nurses all day. My favorite was when one nurse opened the door to come in and I was standing in the middle of the room and we had several visitors at the time all around the room and she looked at me and said, "Are you the patient?" I told her yes and she said well I will just come back doesn't look like you need anything. I continued to get better and better as the day went on and enjoyed hanging out with Reed, family and friends.

The pediatrician that had checked Reed out also stopped by and said he looked great! He would still be seen again before we went home but so far so good! Reed stayed in the room with us all day and got passed from person to person.

We had so many amazing visitors! They all brought so many goodies and beautiful flowers. My mom was even sweet enough to go get us lunch, but while she was gone the hospital tray came and Josh decided he would just eat the hospital food instead, it was pretty funny! :) Then Laurie and Scott brought us dinner. We felt SO blessed by everyone that came by! Sorry if you came by and we didn't get your picture.

Proud Papaw back early the next morning to meet his grandson!

Aunt Amy and Papaw with Reed!

While the nurse was getting me ready to get out of bed for the first time. Josh and Amy got Reed dressed for the day. It took a couple of outfits until they decided on one!

Scott even got in on the action!

I was so excited to see Michelle! Thanks for coming by to love on Reed!

Reed meeting Mrs. Emily for the first time!!

Reed meeting Rebecca for the first time! I was so excited to see Bec and her mom!

Taking a nap with Papa!

We were so lucky to have Tom, Sydney and Miss Stella come down from Fayetteville to see us and meet Reed! It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming Stella into the world!

Harry and Sherlyn meeting Reed!

Okay, this was the funniest thing ever! I actually had to turn away because laughing is one of the most painful things on my incision. Reed was making the funniest face, not to mention the glasses on his face.

Loving on Daddy! So sweet!

Trying to get a pic with the eyes open, but the flash always makes him make a ugly face.

These pictures were actually from Saturday morning. We sent Reed back to the nursery so we could get ready. Once we got ready we went to walk the halls so I could stretch a little. We walked by the nursery and Reed was just laying in his crib in the middle of the room and I got SO sad, it actually made me cry. We brought him back to the room and just let him lay in his crib in our room.
