Thank you to everyone for the very nice compliments!
I had both of my children while I was in the military. My daughter I had in a military hospital and they had first time moms stay for three days after delivery. I was on a ward and it was very hard to sleep because the babies were with the mothers except for when the pediatricians checked them over or if the mother wanted to go take a shower. If you wanted clean sheets you had to change your bed. I was ready to go home after the three days. When I had my son, there wasn't labor and delivery services in the military hospital so I had him in a civilian "hospital" (regional health center really but the closest thing to a hospital within 50 miles). I went in around 2 PM, delivered him around 5 PM and was sent home the next day around 12 PM. Nothing like a whirlwind stay! I didn't have any complications with the delivery so I really didn't mind going home so quick but the hospital charged the military for that room (I was in the same room the whole time) three different ways.
