A new adventure.

I still can't believe that I am a mom.  On November 7, 2006 I welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world.  6lbs 11oz  20 1/2 inches long what a miracle.  I wish I could have held her for more than a few moments before she was taken to the nursery where she spent the next few days.  She decided to breathe as fast as her heart rate and the Dr's didn't like that, plus she ingested a lot of amniotic mirconium stained fluid and her lungs were a little weak.  I was so nervous seeing her hooked up to all those monitors and not being able to have her in with me to really bond those first few days.  Each time I wanted to see her down the hall to the nursery is where I had to go.  It was hard on Matt (my husband) too.  Seeing her hooked up to all those monitors and IV's really bothered both of us but I remained strong so no one would feel bad.   To top things off I couldn't pee so they had to put in a Foley catheter, which made me depressed and embarrassed so I just cried.  I know it's silly but I could see my baby outside of the nursery and now I couldn't pee, I just wanted to cry and cry.  The next day the Dr told me she was Jaundice which he didn't like so I worried about her even more.  Finally she was ready to come out of the nursery 11-9-06.  I got to hold her outside the nursery in my room I was so nervous and happy at the same time.  The Dr had us stay overnight one more night because of her jaundice.  The day I had been waiting for finally came 11-10-06 we got to go home.  Her jaundice cleared up and now she is a healthy happy baby and I couldn't be happier.  I thank God everyday for this blessing this bundle of joy, our little miracle.
