One of my favourite memories is from the first night of A's life, I knew everyone wanted me to get some sleep but I was just too excited and lay staring at this perfect little person in my arms for the whole entire night I think I slept for maybe half an hour? Whenever I think of her first few weeks I remember how amazing she felt/looked/was. I still feel like that, it's true when they say you forget the tiredness, worries etc.

I remember when she was just newly born and I was laying there in the hospital completely bewildered! I didn't expect her to look the way she did, not in a bad way, but it just took me awhile to finally put a face to my little kicker.

I'm kind of still in the early days I guess. But our first night with her in the hospital, I was too scared for both DH and I to be sleeping with her in the room, so I watched her a lot. She was in the bassinet and kept lifting her legs straight in the air making her little body into an L shape, and she used to do that a lot in my belly, making it look like a giant box. It was so cool connecting the baby in my belly to the baby that was in front of me.

When I'd wake her up to feed her and she'd do this huge full body stretch while hanging from my hands. Ee I miss those tiny stretches!

@Adira: hahaha. I swore at A all the time at the beginning. Had to get out those emotions somehow!

Hmmm LO was in the NICU and the nurses were dragging their feet to get my cathader out so I could go see her. When they finally did it they said I needed to wait 2 hours in my room...as soon as they left I made my husband put me in a wheelchair and we escaped to the NICU level so I could see my baby. I had only got to hold her like 5 minutes the night before so I was dying to see her. My nurse tracked me down but knew better than to say anything and just brought me cookies and my medicine and left me be.
