I am thanking G-d that they were not this busy when I was in... at least not on the ward. The delivery suite was a nightmare--I was left alone in Recovery holding the baby for hours and I couldn't put her down because of my epidural.

I was shifted to Transitional earlier than is probably advised (it's technically a discharge, and normally they don't do that after 36 hours!) but I think they did it for good reasons, not to get my bed back.

Aliza is 6.54 kg, or 14 lbs 7 oz. :) They were super busy though so they couldn't measure her. Her weight is right on the 75th percentile curve, so she's growing as expected. Goooood baby!
