We stayed at Edward Hospital for technically 3 days. It was nice to shower after Owen was born. :) I enjoyed the nurses, courteous staff, and especially the room service. It was nice to order breakfast, lunch, and dinner! :) My experience was really great and if we live in Naperville, when we have more kids, it'll be nice to return here. My recovery consisted of taking 600 mg of Motrin and stool softeners. The nurses also were helpful at teaching me how to use pads, ice pack, plus Tucks pads and a squirt bottle to get me through my bathroom breaks/ bowel movements. The shower and the temperature of the water in the showers rocked. Our water can never be hot enough for me at our townhouse but at the hospital the temperature got really hot. It was nice! :)
Here are some pix of me & Owen from that Wednesday, May 4th!
Mom and Owen with his hospital cap on, and mittens so he doesn't scratch himself

Closeup of Owen.. he's so tiny!
aww, he's so precious
On May 4th, my mom and dad came to visit us in the morning. Dave's parents and brother also came to visit. I don't have any pix on my computer of that day but it's ok. Here are some pictures from Cinco De Mayo. Dave returned to work on 5/5/11 so he could take off Friday 5/6/11. My mom came to visit me and stay with me that Thursday morning. Owen got circumcized this morning. He also got his photo shoot with Bella Baby. I wish Dave was there so we could have taken some family pictures. oh well.
