Third Day in the Hospital

Kelly is doing better today but she is still pretty sore and is walking slow. We had the parenting class this morning down the hall. When they announced over the loud speaker that the class is about to begin, there where all these sore achy mothers holding their bellies shuffling down the hall. It looked like Night of the Living Dead.

The class was only about 45 minutes long and didn't really teach us anything we hadn't already been taught except about how to bathe a baby. Not that he's dirty, but I can't wait to get him home and throw him in the tub and play with him and take pictures. I think the only reason they have the class was to get the moms up walking around.

The hospital here has a professional photographer on contract. They came into our room and set up poses and took some really good pictures. We bought the CD with the high resolution pictures for $100 so we can make our own prints later. It's not really fair to extort new parent like that because we probably would have paid any price for those pictures. I can't imagine anyone not wanting pictures of their newborn in the hospital, but the photographer said on more than half of the sessions she did the parents didn't want the pictures. That's because their babies weren't as pretty as ours. Our pictures came out really good. If you'd like to order some prints or keepsakes, visit their website.


Garrett has a little bit of jaundice, but he is pooping good so that will go away soon. We're still scheduled to leave tomorrow morning.
