Brandon stayed with Madeline and me at the hospital the first night, but on Friday, he went to be at home with the other children.

Sarah and Kristin came Friday night for a girls night. It was so much fun. We watched a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie together while we all crammed on the hospital bed and took turns holding baby M.

I cried when they left. (Post-partum hormones). Saying goodbye to Kristin (she was leaving for Georgia the next day) and the fact that our hospital stay was nearing the end made me weepy. I know it sounds wierd, but I really love having birthing babies. Time stops in the hospital and it’s just so special getting to be on vacation with this brand new babe from heaven.
