So Madison's first experience after coming home from the hospital was a blessing and a Superbowl Party. I know you might think we are crazy as we had only been home from the hospital approximately 2 hours before taking her somewhere.
We are a part of a house church that currently is meeting in our best friends home 4 houses down the road. We did not get home until right when church was starting but we did end up going down the road for the end of worship to have a blessing offered over Madison and our new family and to partake in communion.
Following worship, they were hosting a superbowl party (we usually host it every year but are happy to have passed the buck this time around). I of course wanted to show my little beauty off so we decided we would only stay for a little while. We are trying to train her early to be a sports fan so it takes early in life and she is able to appease her future husband on a Sunday afternoon by allowing him to watch football. Albeit, I think most of the women, and some men, were more interested in the pass the baby game than the actual football game.
She made it through and we left when the game was over. It was fun, but for those of you who thought we were crazy by going to a social event just after getting home from the hospital, you are probably right in thinking so. Let's just say that we had a rough first night at home. Between my forgetting to take my pain medicine, extreme pain during breastfeeding, and forgetting to lower the third side to my co-sleeper (so I had to get out of bed-OUCH! note the forgetting pain med part-every time to get her out or just check that whole breathing thing) I didn't get much sleep and my incision was excruciatingly painful the next day. Luckily when you and your husband are both off work currently with no where to go staying in bed until 10:30 is an option. And bringing the baby into bed with us kept her happy and quiet for the morning hours.
