Out of the Hospital

Our experience at the hospital was a LONG one, at least it seemed that way. The labor was so fast that I wasn't able to get a full round of antibiotics for Group B strep so they wanted to keep Kenzie in the hospital for at least 48 hours which would have put us there until Saturday morning. It would have been okay except our room was possessed- Everything electronic kept breaking. Our first bed had an air mattress which sounded like Darth Vader vacuuming. It had a loud background air blowing noise and then what sounded like a respirator. So after like 12 hours they found a bed to replace it with- this self adjusted EVERY 15 seconds or so- so it was really loud- we eventually had to unplug it and it turned into 2 boards that couldn't be adjusted. Then all the outlets in the room died (which they were able to fix).  All that on top of the general uncomfortableness of hospitals (nurses coming in all the time, weird food etc) we were ready to go and convinced them to let us out Friday afternoon as long as we promised to see the pediatrician Saturday. So we complied and got out of dodge. Our house has never felt so comfortable!
