Amy and I have been extremely busy learning how to feed and care for our new little one. We are still at the hospital and hope to leave Tuesday. Saturday night we tried and failed to catch up on sleep - getting maybe 5 hours. Sunday night we got more sleep - six whole hours in bits and pieces! Learning how to breast feed takes a lot of work and time for both of us. We are make slow progress getting Samatha to feed, but things are looking very good now. Samatha is a little jaundice, but it is nothing to worry about. Larissa, Lindsay, Edgar, Betsy, Jess, and Katie visited on Sunday. Monday Randy, Ami, Brian, and Christine visited and brought us food. Thanks.
This afternoon Amy had her epidural removed. She is feeling much better. It looks like we will be going home Tuesday, but our doctors have not said anything for sure yet.
To be clear, Amy did end up having a C-section at 6am Saturday. I watched most of the first half of the surgery over the curtain. It was strange to watch people cutting and pulling on Amy. The doctors were amazingly rough on Amy and Samantha. The OB pulled Samantha out by the head with what looked like a lot of force. Babies are much tougher than they look. The nurse then cleaned Samatha up and she was throwing Samantha around too. I thought that Samantha was beautiful and fell in love immediately. I missed the second half of the surgery (the placenta and sewing parts) to watch Samantha be weighed and measured.
