So two years ago today...

I came home from the hospital.  You can read my thoughts on coming home day here. 

Anyway, for any of you pregnant ladies or soon to be pregnant ladies, I wish you the following.

I wish your baby comes into the world just after visiting hours end.  PJ was born at 4:20 p.m.  Upon getting back to my room, my parents, my ILs, my SIL, BIL, niece, and John's grandparents were there.  All I wanted was some quality time with PJ and John.  But no, I  had to entertain guests when I wanted to shove about four turkey sandwicches in my mouth.

Maggie, on the other hand, was born at 8:02 pm.  Two blissful minutes AFTER visiting hours ended.  Which meant I got to hang out with her and John and then just her for 16 wonderful hours before anyone could come visit us.  I got to eat a sandwich.  I got to relax after giving birth.  It was so much better.

So, that is my wish for you.  That your baby comes into the world in the late evening, but not so late that it's the middle of the night.  Because that was pure bliss.
