Bringing Home Baby


 Our time in the hospital was a little longer than expected because while in labor I developed pre-eclamsia and my blood pressure was misbehaving to put it gently. I am skipping my labor experience on here because it was bad lol we shall leave it at that. 

Right after our baby shower ( a month and ten days before Carter arrived) I couldn’t wait to put away his stuff! Nesting? NOPE. He just received so many gifts that it was hard to move in our apartment, I couldn’t stand the sight of all the cute clutter. I put everything away a little at a time so that it would at least be organized and organized in a way that I would have no trouble at all finding anything. Yeah, I was already rocking the mom thing. 
FALSE.

The night we brought Carter home he needed a diaper change. BLAH! I HAD NOTHING OPEN. So I have a screaming new born and I am wrestling with the stupid wrapper on the wipes and once I finally managed to get through the Fort Knox of plastic I realized I needed diapers that fit a new born and I couldn’t remember if I had any.. Thank God the hospital sent us home with some. After the traumatic diaper change I had to find something “safe” for my little guy to sleep in. It went something like “ uhhhhhhhh...........” It worked out. He slept and survived so I guess what ever he slept in that night worked. Next time ( if there is a next time) I will learn that stupid swaddle so that all I will need is a onesie and a blanket!
