We went home on Friday, 4 days after we had baby Emerson. I was very ready to come home! I felt pretty good after my C-Section this time so I was ready to sleep in my own bed and be in my own house. It is never very easy when you go home but I think we did okay. It is always more stressful than I think it will be but I guess I knew bringing home #4 would probably be a little hectic. I guess I figured that since Emerson was my 4th kid I would have it more together this time. I was counting on myself to not be an emotional disaster and to altogether just handle things better. What I didn't take into account is that no matter how many kids you have,you go through the same ups and downs in hormones after each baby. Whether you think you will cope better or not...You won't. I was still an overwhelmed mess at times. Lucky for me we had help from Robb's mom and of course Robb was a huge help too.
When we went home Emerson weighed 7# 4oz so the agreement was that we would meet with a lactation consultant from Milkworks on Saturday since she had lost 10% of her birth weight.
