She’s here, she’s here, she’s here! In fact, this little lady that stole our hearts has been here for 2 whole weeks already! The moment she was placed on my chest time absolutely stood still. I couldn’t believe that she was real and having Max stand by my side watching him become a daddy right before my eyes was one of the best moments we have ever experienced together.
You know your life has changed when your child makes you so damn happy that just the thought of them wells you up with tears. She is our world, our sweet darling girl, and the most happy and precious one at that. Being a mommy to her within these couple of weeks has been the greatest gift. It feels so right! I am absolutely astounded by her beauty and her tiny little body. This pip-squeak came out of me! She was certainly bigger than we expected but completely perfect in our eyes. She feels heavier by the day and it makes my heart burst. Part of me is so sad to see her grow but another part of me is rooting her on to become the healthiest little girl she can be!
She loves to eat, sleep, and poop. Boy is she good at all three! She’s a lazy eater in a sense she takes FOR-EV-ER and just likes to hang on to mom but she certainly gets the job done and I don’t mind her snuggles one bit. I am not a fan of burping and she scares me to death with even the slightest cough/choke from spit up. Spit up is my enemy because I hate to see her uncomfortable and she gets the wrath of hiccups after every feeding. She’s a stinky thing and it is so hilarious discovering the little treasures she leaves for Daddy and I to clean up. ANOTHER poopy diaper? OH we just changed one of those like, 6 seconds ago… And sleep. For awhile there I was having to wake her up to eat. Two days ago I could have said that her naps followed 2 hours to a tee, or that she had been sleeping through almost every visitor we’ve had over; being passed back and forth through chatting and music… however, not so much anymore! We’ve discovered she has a bout of thrush that has had her extremely uncomfortable to the point of exhausting herself to sleep through the entire night since she now spends the majority of the day awake and crying :( I can only hope it passes soon because nothing feels worse than seeing your baby upset. The doctor has reassured us that she should start feeling back to normal in no time and that our girl is one tough cookie. She has surpassed her birth weight (go chubs!) and is as perfect as can be.
Although its odd that I was only pregnant two weeks ago, I miss it, but I wouldn’t trade her for the universe. She is safe here with Max and I and loved by so many. She is my reason for living. She visits me in my dreams every night. She is my first thought when I wake up. She is everything I have ever wanted.
