I can’t believe our little lady has been in our lives for 2 weeks now. Man…to think of this day 2 weeks ago I have such a plethora of feelings. It was 2 weeks, but feels like centuries ago, we were in the hospital room…alone while our chunky monkey baby was in the nicu. I still hadn’t gotten to hold her…and Yosh was being amazing with updates and walking up the nicu every time I got sad and thought she needed visitors with her. We sat there so sad…texting friends but declining any visitors other than Owen…too depressing to be there after birth without having your baby with you. I was counting down the minutes before they would let me get up and try and walk…determined to hold my little girl!! Now 2 weeks later I feel like she has always been a part of our family. She’s such an awesome little person…sleeps great, eats great and is as content as her big brother was as a baby!
But I will say, being a parent is so weird. The bond that a mom has with their child is something that I can’t put into words. Its amazing…like nature just takes over. I had reservations before Ella born…having fear that I wouldn’t be able to love another little being like I loved Owen…I just thought it was impossible! But once I saw her…once they showed her to me over the operating curtain it was immediate reaction of unconditional love…again! These 2 weeks have flown by…and now I just couldn’t imagine our lives before her. She fits so perfectly!
Happy 2 week Birthday my little love…
We did a little pretend pre-valentines photo shoot today…she wasn’t having it though…too hungry to pose for her mom! lol
