The first child is a breeze. Take a few days off work, and everything is good.
Staying at the hospital for 4 days is much harder with a four year old at home.
Bobbie Jo's mom Sharon offered to stay at our house the entire time we were at the hospital. From Thursday afternoon until Monday afternoon she 'held down the fort', and allowed us to concentrate on Baby Lily.
While we were in the hospital, Sharon, Max, and my mom (Camille) were quite busy; grocery shopping, cleaning, bathing, visiting the hospital, and even tying balloons on the mailbox. We would have been so stressed if it weren't for their help.
Thank you so much, we can't express how much we appreciate it!
