It's the day after I was born and it's the most exciting day so far in my life because we're gonna leave the hospital and go home and I get to see my room and meet my two dogs, Finlay & Maggie, and also my other grandparents, my moms parents, Mamie Cathou and Papie Dawson. I'm named after Papie Dawson. I'm so excited I just peed my pants. But before we leave the hospital I have to do an ear test and also the Doctor needs to check me out to make sure it's okay to go home early. My mom wants to "Get the fuck out of here!" Apparently my dad had to sleep on a chair last night which wasn't comfortable for him, and mom is still quite upset that there wasn't a lactation consultant sent to the room to help her with breastfeeding. "Oh, but there's Similac everywhere!" she keeps saying.
We had so many visitors today. I felt very popular. Ray, my mom and dad's old roommate, came to meet me. He moved out of Sunset Drive in August and now lives about 3 seconds away. He must have attachment issues with my parents.
Then there was Uncle Jayce, my dad's best friend.
His wife, Kristen, came too. She helped my mom a lot with her birthing techniques. Mom wanted to have a Hypnobirth but apparently the nurses and doctors "completely ignored" what my mom wanted. Even though mom says she's so happy to have me she was quite frustrated with the process here at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. But she'll get over it soon, I'm sure. Anyway, Gram and Grampa came back today and my Great Aunt Randy and her boyfriend Bob and also Tracy dropped by and held me for awhile. She said I was the most beautiful baby she'd ever seen and even cried a bit I think. Tracy was warm and I loved her right away. The doctor came and said we could go home and after the hearing test which I passed with flying colors (my dad was really impressed about this and told everyone) we packed our bags and left. Wow. What a long day.
