It was quite an ordeal to convince them to sit on the bed with us. I thought kids wanted to climb up onto the hospital bed, but not mine.

Right after Ryder was born

Right after he got bundled up for the first time.
Usually I'm a wimp when it comes to recovery, but I'm actually feeling pretty well today for just having a baby. I'm hoping that feeling lasts.
Ryder and I have to stay at the hospital until Monday so he can be observed. I'm Group B Strep positive and I wasn't in labor long enough to get all of my antibiotics so we get to stay a full 48 hours to make sure he's doing well. I'm looking forward to getting home and sleeping in my own bed.
We have had lots of visitors and we appreciate everyone who has come by. Thanks so much!
