Still at the Hospital!!!!!!

So I know I haven't updated much lately, I am actually still in the hospital! We have been here since Monday and I am getting so frustrated! This is not how I had imagined our first week with our little boy to be. I wanted to be home with Mark and Eli enjoying every moment and just taking it all in. Trying to establish our routines and just being together as a family. Instead we have all been cooped inside the hospital for almost a week now, and not that we aren't having intimate moments as a family (we are still getting up in the middle of the night for feedings and diaper changes) :) but we have people coming in day and night to poke us with needles, take our temperature, offer ice chips, take my blood pressure, give me some poop softeners! Not my idea of what I thought the first week as a family was going to be. Booooo, ok my whining is over. Mark has been great, he has been here at the hospital with me ALL the time, he has not left my side which is more than I could have ever asked as I have gotten pretty emotional these last few days just wanting to be home with my boys, and finally letting this whole week and the experience sink in. He has been there to comfort me or just hold me when I needed to cry. I have been looking back at all the pictures from the day Eli was born and have been an emotional mess. I know there is not much I can do and we were lucky to get in the hospital when we did but I really missed out on having a natural birth. I feel I didn't get to experience the birth of our baby boy the way I would have liked it. It just goes to show you that no matter how much you plan for it or try and prepare for it, it will most likely never go the way you want it too. I just thank God that our baby boy is doing GREAT, my husband has been wonderful, our families have been so supportive constantly calling to check up on us and we have had great care here at the hospital. I am just hoping that we get an Ok to go home today. I ended up not needing a blood transfusion, however my blood pressure has been really high now so they are monitoring that. I was suppose to go home on Thursday, but they continue to push it back a day, please keep your fingers crossed that today is the day we get to leave. I am in need of my own bed and I want to just be home with my two boys! I promise once we get home I will update with more pictures and Eli's progress!
