Freya's first days

I delivered at the Maple Grove Hospital and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience and all of the people we interacted with. All of the nurses were fantastic, and I was lucky to have the same nurse on duty every day we were there so we got to know her well. You could tell she really cared about Freya and me and she really helped me be more comfortable with my hospital experience. We even recieved a personalized note from her and one of the other nurses a day after we got home. I was very happy with the care I recieved and would highly recommend the birth center there to anyone! The amenities were great as well. They have room service so I was able to order whatever I wanted to eat whenever I wanted it and there was a couch/bed in the room so Justin was able to stay with us every night.

Since I had a c-section we had a little longer hospital stay. This gave some of our family and friends a chance to come visit us while we were still there.

Clean and happy after her first bath. Her hat was a gift from a knitting group that makes hats and donates them to the hospital.

Freya has been a fairly calm and content baby since she was born. The first few days in the hospital she barely cried and I had to wake her up to feed her. She did get kicked out of the nursery one night at around 3am because she didn't want to sleep. At first I was hesitant to have her taken to the nursery, but I needed at least a couple hours of sleep each night and the nurses were great about bringing her back to the room if she fussed at all and she never went more than 2 hours without being in my room with us.
Next up - coming home!
