Although I was pleasantly surprised that the nurses and Dr. Lee respected my list of requests for labor, delivery, and newborn care we really wanted to get out of the hospital ASAP! The room had the floor heater on and we were scolded for turning the A/C on. I was sweating to death even with the fan we brought along (probably because I was lying on a plastic bed!!). I also don't know if it's because the staff knew this was my third child or what but I got virtually no advice on how to care for myself or my child which I thought was slightly strange.
We did bring Henry down to the pediatrician as part of the checking-out process and the doctor said he looks good and advised us on his cord care (different than the US, they don't put iodine on it to dry it out so it is still soft and flexible—kind of gross, actually!). We were home by 11:30 this morning. Henry was less than 24 hours old!
Henry goes back to the clinic on Monday for a blood draw (PKU, etc.) and both of us go back to our doctors on Saturday for follow-up appointments.
Perfection!
