Thursday: If Julie's feeling better, they let her go Thursday afternoon. If she wants to stay, though, she can stay until Saturday.

Somewhere in there, my brother-in-law and his wife will show up, as will my Grandmother. But there's a lot of sitting around being reeeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy bored. Apparently it's common with scheduled C-Sections.

You forgot incessant nagging by the wife that she's the one not getting enough sleep and you need to start producing


Yes, scheduled c-sections are hella boring, but hey you won't get any sleep. Between the baby and the nurses, you will be woken up every hour and then every couple hours and then every few hours and so on. You'll soon be overjoyed to be home where you only get woken up here and there by the baby.

But hey, congratulations!

No, Julie is well aware that she's been pretty demanding on me recently, and is about to get even MORE demanding. She sent me home around 11 last night to get MOST of a night's sleep.

Oh good LORD yes, we were running on about 3-4 hours going into the operation (long story) and we just wanted to nap yesterday, but between the nurses, the unexpected visits (not unwanted, immediate family decided to drop everything and drive), and MORE nurses... eep!
