Say goodbye to your productivity?
The birth of your child is the most joyful moment you will ever have at a hospital. Your partner might disagree. I guess it depends on the pain medication she took.
Labour is different for everybody. Ours was pure excitement. Every time I stepped outside, I would burst back into the room like a five year old: ”The nurse said we even get to keep the baby!”
But after 24h without sleep I wasn’t so sure. I started to ask about the hospital’s baby return policy.
A few minutes after our daughter arrived, we placed her under a heat lamp. I wanted to take some pictures. So the nurse suggested we could put on a diaper for privacy. Great idea.
Two minutes later, I realized this was not what diapers were for. At least our baby seems to be made of 80% poo, 15% vomit, and (according to our paediatrician) not enough pee. These liquids are all held together by a bag of cute, soft baby skin.
