With our son turning one week old today, Jean and I decided to celebrate by taking him out for a walk and on his first HEB run! We just got back, so I decided it was a good time to take a breather and post about some of our experiences last week.
I finally took some time to upload the set of photos from our short stay in the hospital's postpartum wing one week ago. We had a wonderful time considering the extent of our sleep deprivation and the shock of being new parents. Again, the nurses were wonderfully helpful to us and incredibly nurturing to our son.
As you can see in the photos, we had visitors on Saturday after we had recovered. It was great to have friends over to meet our son. Michael did surprisingly well considering how much activity was thrust upon him. He is charming everyone already!
The coolest hospital feature I observed while we were there was the baby security system they have. Michael had a tag attached to his umbilical cord that served to notify the hospital doors when he was close. The doors would not open if a child was nearby, unless the security was overridden by a nurse. Even the elevators were protected in this way. Pretty darn cool and comforting to a new father.
