We were finally sprung from the hospital this morning. I was surprised they didn't want to keep us longer since the baby had been released from the NICU only on Wednesday night. But, who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?
We're all exhausted. Baby has spent most of the afternoon sleeping after eating most of the morning. I got a short nap. I'm finding it hard to sleep if I'm the only adult around. I worry that the baby will need something and I won't wake up when he cries. I guess I'll get used to it. He's sleeping right next to our bed, so it's unlikely his cries would go unnoticed.
It feels good to be home. The hospital had become "normal" - we were there for a week, after all, between the induction and the post-cesarean stay. I still haven't processed through it all.
I know what you really want are pictures. I'm too lazy to get up right now to get the camera. Maybe a little later.

I think the Milotay family just needs to get used to the new addition and catch up on some sleep. That's probably the best thing you can do now....sweet dreams. We love you all.

So, when does Baby get a name? Does this happen during the bris or do I get to adress him as "The Nameless One" in your x-mas card?
-Marty
PS - Personally, I think "The Nameless One" has a cool ring to it. "He Who Has No Name" is another diabolically good choice. It'll intimidate the hell out of his teachers and friends in grade school.
Hmmm . . . I think Marty is on to something, but I prefer "He Who Shall Eventually Be Named".
As one who had not one but two C-sections, I have some advice for you:
1. No, your insides are not falling out. It just feels that way.
2. Hold He-Who-Shall-Eventually-Be-Named more against your chest than your abdomen.
3. Sigh often and whimper occasionally. It will remind Mark of the pain you went through and possibly get you ice cream.
4. Take stairs one at a time, but avoid altogether if possible.
5. In 20 years or so, you will forget the pain.
GET SOME SLEEP!
