Our stay at Dritter Orden

A late update but at least it is here now. For our first week, we were able to stay for the first week with Will in the hospital. All 3 of us were able to stay in one "family" room which was really great. The German's have a rooming in concept so Will was with us 24/7. It was a great introduction to parenting: little sleep, new schedule, tons of great bonding time with Will and we enjoyed every minute. We quickly learned that Will was the new manager. It is amazing how fast dad and mom became expert diaper changers!


The nurses and staff were all so super nice and we really enjoyed our time there. They also had the cutest clothes for the kids; the picture below is the sleep sack they had for all the kids there.


The hospital itself was super nice and was a great facility. We all feel blessed to have been able to give birth there. It is one of the most famous places to give birth in Munich, so we feel really lucky to have gotten in.


Because Sarah had a c-section, the rule is 5 days in the hospital in Germany, so we stayed there until Sunday. We enjoyed our daily visits from the Milams who were staying at our house and helping us get tasks done before we came home.
