Since baby Leah got her vent out yesterday morning, we were finally able to hold her! She looked a little bit too tired to take her out in the morning, so we waited until the afternoon. We each got to hold her for 15 minutes, which is about how long it took the nurse to get her out of the isolette in the first place – this is one “plugged in” little girl! But the nurse finally sorted out all of the cords and tubes and wires and set her down on our chests, where she snuggled in. When the nurse put Leah on Mandy’s chest she even tried to open her eyes and look up at her mama.
I’m in love! she’s so tiny and perfect! <3
Mama love is so important for both the baby & her mom’s! I love you Leah Valerie, can’t wait to hold you little love bug.
So glad you got to hold her. Little tiny baby! So beautiful! We can’t stop thinking about you XO
Hi Baby Leah, welcome to this old cruel world, but now that you are here it is going to be a better place to be. Love you and get strong and healthy soon!
Leah is so beautiful. You two are amazing mothers already. I will share your story tonight in class if that is alright. After reading your story I feel so bad, we are going o er the packing list tonight! If there is anything I can do for you two, I mean three, let me know.
Love,
Kristin
Seriously. Who cut the onions around here? My eyes can’t take it.
