10) Insurance companies must be the ones who pick out and supply the hospital with their beds. They are so incredibly uncomfortable in any position that no one wants to stay longer than absolutely necessary. (I checked in at 7:30 on Friday morning and checked out at 6:30 pm on Saturday night)9) I'm supposed to call my insurance company before I leave for the hospital for their permission. Whoops. I truly did forget this small detail. Why I need their permission, I'm not sure....
8). Hospital floors are gross. After an hour and a half of walking the halls to encourage... progress...., my white socks were black on the bottom. I threw them out before I left the hospital.
7) Televison only gets worse. I do more TV watching while in the hospital than any other time. It's depressing to see how much further it's degenerated in the past 2 years. Especially what passes for kid shows.
6) Nurses don't always get that IV needle put in right the first time. Ouch
5) When the dr. says "Just one more push and then it will be all over" it usually means another 2 or 3.
4) Nursing a brand new baby causes contractions all over again. You would think I would remember that much, but it always is an unpleasant twist. I think contractions should be finished once the baby pops out!
3) I'm not going to have the desire or energy or even presence of mind to work on the baby book or thank you cards or anything else after delivery. It's too easy to click through the remote 47 times an hour instead.
2) How fun it is to pick up the phone and ask someone to bring you food to your room and then take away the dirty dishes later
1) How amazingly tiny and perfect and precious a newborn is, a complete gift from a loving and faithful God!
