so olivia rose* is going to be 3 weeks old today at 1.26 this afternoon. 3 weeks already! and if you were around her she is insanely alert not only for a 3 week old but for a child you just had heart surgery! she was that way her entire hospital stay as well, whenever she opened those big beautiful heart-wrenching blues she was looking around, followed sounds & was just extremely observant. this kid i am telling you is absolutely amazing & these 3 weeks were so long yet went by so fast. they aren't kidding ya when they say 'they grow up fast' she doesn't look like a 3 week old, but that just may be me seeing her everyday knowing what she started as & looks like now.
but our nurse came for a visit today, colleen. she is amazing. has two little ones of her own, isn't too much older than myself, and is just super sweet & one of us. i personally loved that 99.9% of everyone (medical staff) that we have come into contact with these past 3 weeks have been everyday normal people, makes things so much easier. and colleen is just that; she comes over checks olivia's vitals, her weight, we chat about her behavior/feeding. she's cool.
but our little peanut (yes i still call her my peanut) is now 3 weeks old, healthy, happy, & has no memory of the horrendous three weeks we have just all been through & we can really get things going now.
ah, motherhood. there really is no words for it, it's worth all the hearth-ache, agony & anxiety. oh how i love her so.
