Our Hospital Stay

While we are happy to be home and getting settled into life here with our little bundle of joy, I must say that our stay in the hospital was pretty great! Our delivery was at Mass General Hospital and because of the c-section we stayed 4 nights. All of the doctors and nurses were wonderful and very informative.

We ended up with a room with two beds, so Chris had a hospital bed to sleep in as opposed to a chair/cot we were expecting. We also had a beautiful view of the Charles River and Cambridge, which was nice to look at during the day but also at night with the skyline!

The hospital had a TV channel that played soothing music which was nice and relaxing throughout the day. On our first night, Chris and a nurse gave Gwendolyn a bath in our room! Three meals were brought to me everyday and then cleared away.

It was all in all a very nice and relaxing stay. It was a wonderful length of time to bond with Gwendolyn and get the hang of nursing, and I took full advantage of asking the nurses, doctors and pediatricians any questions that I had.
