Was just chatting with Kim and he brought up our time at the hospital room after baby was born. It was a tiny space for three of us. The mum’s bed, the crappy fold up foam mattress for dad. The clear plastic wheely bassinet for baby. Her UV billiblanket. Lots of cables along the walls for medical equipment that are of no use to us. The sad lighting with the light switches in odd places. The one stiff chair in the awkward nook. The TV mounted in the ceiling that I stared at in the middle of the night because it looked like it could fall on me at any given time. Having to move the bed for dad each time we needed to use the bathroom. It was a small space but we made it work as best we could. We had our feeding schedule and our nappy changing routine set up efficiently. It was a compact start to our small family, and those 3 days will remain so special to me.
