We came back home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. It already feels like the hospital was a week ago. Amy is experiencing a very fast recovery from her C-section. She was up and walking 24 hours after the surgery and several nurses commented how “strong” she is. She still has to be careful getting up and down from the bed but other than that she is in great shape.
Drew is also doing great, although understandably sleep deprived.
We had really wonderful care at the hospital but are so grateful to be home. When we arrived, we were greeted with a wonderful lunch thanks to Amy’s mom (Nancy) who had recently arrived. It has been such a blessing having her with us. After lunch, Nancy spent some time getting to know her grand daughter while we took a much needed 2 hour nap (more sleep than either of us had gotten the night before)!
Gia is wonderful. Every hour we fall more and more in love with her – the cute noises she makes, the funny hand gestures when she nurses, the sweet contentment we feel when we hold her.
We are so grateful for the love and support everyone has shown us. A special thank you to all the people who brought us meals and visited us in the hospital (Amy’s sister, Wendy, even flew down to visit for just for the day!).
It is challenging to find enough time and energy to sit down and write for more than 5 minutes at a time, but we will make an effort to keep everyone updated.
Love,
Amy & Drew
