As my little one gets older, I am getting that sad feeling that I will never have another new baby again. I’m not sure if many moms enjoy the hospital, but I do. I have had a c-section with all three of my children and had hospital stays that lasted a few days/nights. With Christopher, I stayed there 4 days and 3 nights. I want to remember those days forever as those were the first days I spent with my little one. Even though the nurses bug you about ever hour, I still enjoyed being able to be waited on hand and foot. I remember the cheesecake that my mother in law brought to me that I ate in the middle of the night. I also remember the hospital meals that I looked forward to. Even though I didn’t get much sleep when I was there, I still sort of wish that I would be able to do it again. I had my tubes tied because we are done having any more children.
Do you miss the hospital days too? Maybe it is just that postpartum thing, who knows!

It’s probably not so much the “hospital” you miss, as the care and attention. I don’t ever miss the hospital, but after having a baby, I can understand enjoying the individual care, meal service and peace at times.. something us moms don’t get much of when the kids are young. It gets better Stef.
I am not so sure about missing the hospital days stage, but I certainly do miss having a little newborn around. Those first 3-4 months are the greatest to me.
