We were up most of the night since the baby was born so late. The doctors and nurses taking different messurements and weights of the baby as well as checking on our vitals. There were no complications and we were both doing good. Things finally settled down around 4 am. I slept until 7am and was given some breakfast. And then we continued to nap on and off until around 9 or 10. We had asked to be released as soon as they could so that we could go home and after they had checked on both myself and they baby they said we would get released that afternoon. Later that afternoon Stephen went and picked up Emerson so that he could meet his new baby brother. He had fallen asleep along the way and wasn't too impressed at first that he had been woken up. We did however manage to get a couple pictures of him and his baby brother before leaving the hospital.
They had made an appointment for the baby before we left the hospital for the next afternoon so we decided to go back to the hotel for our last night of storknesting. Emerson warmed up by then and decided that he wanted to hold the baby (with a little support of course). He did very well and was surprisingly sweet and gentle.
We spent the rest of the night enjoying our first moments together as a family of four.
