Meeting her brothers

The boys got to come up to hospital just an hour or two after Maggie was born.  My mom and brother had already fed them and bathed them.  They were very, very quiet coming in to see her.   Above you will see the "group shot."   At least I am looking at the camera. 





We're feeling pretty good this morning.   Nursing is going well, but as always at the beginning .... not the most comfortable and painless experience that the "breast feeding" people talk about : )  
We should be heading home later tonight.   Hopefully by 7pm.   My nurse yesterday and today have been wonderful.   My night nurse was terrible.   Machines were beeping, pain medicine wasn't ever brought, no one to help me to the bathroom.  I'm "letting it go" because we have a healthy baby.   But, I had a dream that I let the nurse have it.   Even though it's our fourth, it would have been to have some better help.   Okay, letting it go  : )
Maggie is sleeping peacefully; Colin just got back from meeting the painter at our house (it's  a good day to get our kitchen painted, right?); I'm about to go take a shower and recharge. 
Oh, meant to include in the last post - labor was a little slow.   My blood pressure was low and I felt pretty dizzy and lightheaded through most of the day.  Then, I went from a 5 to a 10 in a very short period of time (the same time that my doctor headed to Frisco for another delivery).  So, I was complete, but waiting another hour to deliver.   Maggie also had the cord wrapped around her neck and her wrist ... she was grabbing a hold of it.  But she was fine.   And the pediatrician said that she looked great this morning, too.   No heart murmur :)  and all of her fingers and toes are there.
More pictures to come soon.
