At 7am there is a shift change, with the new nurse, Cathy, coming in to introduce herself. She quietly speaks to Matt and then checks Betty's blood pressure, which is running 130/70, a vast improvement from the past several weeks. Luckily, Betty and Rosalina continue to sleep.

At 7:45am, Dr. Day enters the room and says, "I am going to check Betty before heading over to the office."

Gently rousing Betty so she doesn't startle her, Dr. Day examines her quickly, gives them the thumbs up sign and announces, "It is looking just like it should. I do want you up and moving soon. The nursing staff will be in shortly to remove the catheter and the epidural line. You will continue to get pain medication through your IV on a PCA system."

"What exactly is a PCA system?" asks Betty in a soft tone since Rosalina is still sleeping.

"PCA stands for Patient Controlled Analgesia. Basically, you will press a button to deliver the pain medication when you feel you need it. This allows you not to have to wait for pills or get shots. It gives the control to the patient and is known to assist with recovery from surgery," replies Dr. Day.

"I was just reading about c-sections, and they suggest that Betty press the button before trying to get up or being examined," states Matt.

Dr. Day nods affirmatively and says, "Yes, those are both good times to give oneself a dose since such is often painful, especially initially."

Dr. Day then excuses herself and indicates that she will be back at the end of the day. Smiling at Betty, Matt comes over to the bed, gives her a sweet kiss, and sits down next to her. They both glance at Rosalina, who is making an occasional gurgle, but continues to sleep.

"Any other suggestions in those materials to assist with recovering from the c-section?" asks Betty.

"Yes, actually, several of the references indicate that putting a pillow in front of your belly when you get up and down can make that a lot easier," replies Matt.

"That sounds a little silly, but I'll definitely try it. But, since we are both tired already, you may need to remind me," responds Betty.

"I'll do my best to help us both remember that "helpful hint," answers Matt.

"You will likely be limited to sponge baths until the steri-strips are ready to be removed. I don't mind trying to assist with that," comments Matt with a smile, "or whoever we hire as a nurse to help with the baby can do that too if you'd prefer."

Smiling back at Matt, Betty replies, "I'd definitely rather you have that task than a nurse and hopefully Hilda can do my hair. The nurse can focus on the baby and the household chores."

"Sounds like a plan," answers Matt.

Rosalina starts to stir, with Matt getting up and checking on her. He gingerly changes her diaper, with Betty laughing slightly at the number of attempts it takes him to get it tightly closed.

As Matt brings Rosalina over to Betty to nurse, he remarks, "We'll see how well you handle that, your Royal Highness, when you are up and about. It is harder than it looks."

"I suspect it may work better with two people changing her initially. I wasn't laughing at you, more with you, since she certainly was squirmy," responds Betty.

Betty is nursing Rosalina when Cathy enters the room, with Betty briefly trying to cover herself until she determines whom it is.

"I suspect you'll become at least a little less modest rather quickly," jokes Cathy. "I'll let her finish up, and then we will remove the catheter, change out your epidural for the PCA, have you try to use the toilet, and then take a brief walk."

Betty retorts, "Perhaps you are correct about the modesty thing, but, for now, I am still going to try to be selective regarding who observes her nursing."

Matt burps Rosalina while the nurse changes out the medication systems as previously agreed. She encourages Betty to get up slowly. Matt remembers to hand Betty a pillow to place in front of her incision.

"Good idea on the pillow," remarks the nurse as Betty gingerly takes her first few steps in over 24 hours.

Grimacing slightly, Betty announces, "Matt was doing some research this morning regarding recovery from c-sections, so we hope it comes in handy."

They decide to take a walk from the room to the nursing station and back, with the nurse walking alongside Betty while Matt pushes the bassinet. They notice Gio, Dana, Daniel, Amanda, Marc, Tyler, and Claire getting off the elevator.

"Are you up to seeing them or do you want me to tell them to come back later?" asks Matt.

"A brief visit will be OK, but only after I am settled back into bed. Please make sure they are all healthy and wash their hands if they want to touch Rosalina," responds Betty.

"I'll go tell them we need them to wait here for a few minutes," states Matt, as he gives her a quick kiss and intercepts them at the desk, telling them that he'll be back for them shortly.

Having gotten back in bed and surprised with how tiring the brief walk was, Betty is ready to welcome the visitors. The guests enter the room, with all of them glancing at the sleeping Rosalina and then taking a seat or standing.

Handing Matt some flowers that come in a music box, Claire states, "Thanks for letting us visit and see the baby. We all found out about her arrival yesterday from Justin, who had to leave early to come meet his cousin."

Amanda asks, as she gestures towards Dana and Gio, "Are you all "besties" now or something?"

"I wouldn't say we are "besties," but we are "couples friends," responds Gio.

"We also helped out a bit yesterday, serving as witnesses to Matt and Betty's marriage ceremony," adds Dana.

"You got married!" exclaims a shocked, wide-eyed Daniel. "I guess that means you two are "the real thing"-congratulations."

"Thank you," reply Matt and Betty in unison.

"We are in love with each other and agreed that Rosalina deserved to have her parents officially married before she was born," comments Betty.

Matt continues, "We do plan on having a reception in a few months when we will renew our vows among family and friends."

Marc jokes, "Well, that is a relief, I, for one, enjoy a good party."

There is laughter from all in the room, with Rosalina stirring somewhat at the noise.

Matt distributes hand sanitizer as he informs them, "Whoever may want to hold Rosalina is respectfully requested to use either this hand sanitizer or wash up with soap and water."

"Yes, Sir," responds Tyler with a mock salute.

"Any volunteers to assist Matt with the diaper? She is quite a handful, or so he tells me," teases Betty.

"She was a moving target, at least last time," says a slightly red Matt, who then gives Betty a kiss before going over to the bassinet.

"It has been a while, but I'll give it a try," responds Claire.

As she looks lovingly at Gio, Dana remarks, "I, for one, at least want to watch since we'll be doing that ourselves very soon."

Matt and Claire proceed to tag team on the diaper, with stifled laughter from several present when it takes them two tries to get the new diaper on securely. All of the guests then take turns holding Rosalina, which gives Matt a chance to sit next to Betty's bed and encourage her to drink fluids.

As Rosalina starts to fuss, Betty quips, "If you men, other than Matt, would please leave the room, Rosalina seems to hungry again and I am her bottle."

Gio jokes as he leaves the room, "Well, you did flash me in London, but this is somewhat different, so I will join the others."

"Really funny," Betty calls after him.

As Rosalina nurses, Amanda comments, "Well, I don't think the Daddy will complain about getting a front row seat to this show."

"No complaints, but this is not about what I like to see. Instead, this is about what is best for my daughter and wife," retorts Matt.

Dana asks, "Betty, honestly, what does it feel like?"

Betty, who has finished nursing the baby with Matt handing her to Claire for burping duties, replies, "I am not sure how to describe it. My milk hasn't come in yet, so I may change my perspective, but right now it seems "natural." I do think using the lanolin cream is helping, since I am not too sore."

Amanda asks, "Does it feel similar to when a man puts his mouth there?"

"Amanda!" exclaims Claire. "That question is pushing it, even for you."

"I think it is a valid question and Betty can choose not to answer it, just like when the pregnant ladies didn't want to comment about their sex drive," retorts Amanda.

Rolling her eyes slightly, Betty sighs and states, "Definitely does not feel the same as a man at one's breast, but it is good in its own way."

"Speaking of men and breasts, excuse me for a moment," adds Betty, who then positions Matt in between her and the guests while she has him apply the lanolin cream.

The surprised look on Amanda's face results in smirks exchanged between husband and wife. Matt helps Betty close the gown while Dana gets Tyler, Daniel, Gio and Marc.

"Everybody decent?" calls Daniel prior to entering the room.

"Yes, please come in," replies Betty.

Amanda remarks, "Well, Rosalina and Betty, with some help from Matt, seem to have a breastfeeding routine set for now, but even I agree it is not meant for mixed company."

The visitors stay for about another 20 minutes before heading out to start their respective workdays. Betty and Matt enjoy a few minutes of just them with their daughter, with everyone taking a nap. After all three of them, including Rosalina, have their respective lunches, Matt and Betty proceed to call friends to share the news of the baby's birth. Betty is glad when Christina answers her phone. They speak for a few minutes, with Christina promising to send along some of her "baby girl originals" for Rosalina to wear. Victoria stops by briefly early in the afternoon. Ignacio and Elena arrive around 4pm and are present when Dr. Day comes by to examine Betty.

"Everything is healing nicely," comments Dr. Day. "You should be able to go home tomorrow. "

"Excellent," remarks Matt.

"Since you indicated previously that money is not a problem, I do suggest that you hire a baby nurse to assist with Betty's recuperation, household chores, and, of course, mommy and daddy maximizing their sleep," adds Dr. Doctor Day.

"We plan on it," responds Betty. "We are actually down to a few top candidates, since there will be at least two shifts of nurses initially. We are expecting them here in a bit so that we can see how they interact with Rosalina and us too."

Ann, Joyce, Toni, and Zoe, the top baby nurse choices, come by the hospital. Elena asks them some interesting questions based on her own nursing experience. While all four women are impressive, they decide to go with Joyce for the daytime nurse and Zoe for the nighttime nurse.

Betty and Matt turn in early as they anticipate another evening of disrupted sleep courtesy of the frequently hungry, but luckily healthy Rosalina. Rosalina does not disappoint them, as she is brought down to their room from the nursery every two to three hours to nurse just as a newborn infant should.
