Well since the last blog my life has completely changed. We welcomed our perfect baby girl. On October 16, 2013 10:40am we welcomed Charlotte Ryann into the world at 6lbs 10oz. So since then I've learned to appreciate sooooo many things.
One I appreciate my amazing husband. Not only is he an amazing husband he is an amazing daddy. He knows exactly what to do and when to do it. You can clearly tell she is already such a daddy's girl. She loves being rocked in his arms and just laying on his chest. I know it will be difficult for him to return home tomorrow without her but I know he is going to stay strong but miss his little girl so much. And I know Charlotte will miss daddy feeding her and burping her. Mommy cant get her quite upright enough to burp her really well especially being in bed. Travis is such an amazing man and I am truly lucky to have him. I know you are all probably getting really tired of reading about how great he is. But I never ever want him to think he isn't an amazing man because he has done so much and sacrificed so much for Charlotte and I. To me that is something that no matter how many times I say it he will never know how much I truly appreciate and love him.
I appreciate the amazing NICU and OB nurses for helping Charlotte Daddy and I get used to this new life. Charlotte is such an amazing little girl and the nurses have all fallen in love with her. Daddy and I are thankful for all the nurses that have shown us the little tricks of the trade on breast feeding, changing diapers, getting her to stop crying, bottle feeding and everything else that Charlotte needs. There are times mommy gets frustrated especially when breast feeding that daddy is able to help because of the handy hints the nursing staff have shown him and I. The NICU nurses helped daddy feed Charlotte her first bottle and he did an amazing job with it! They showed him the tricks to get her to eat more when he thought she wouldn't eat anymore.
I'm thankful for all the visitors we have had and everyone that shared their love for Charlotte. I know this little angel is so loved by so many people. I know she loves all the attention =] She has been amazing thru all of the visitors and being held by everyone. All the visitors and everyone that has shown their love for Charlotte have made this an amazing experience. We all know no pregnancy was meant to go like this but for me trying to look on the positive side of things, I think we have gained so much out of it. Charlotte now has so many people that love and support her - which she would have absolutely had so many if none of this happened- but she has the love and support of everyone she has met. I know she has changed each persons life that knows about her and our story even if its just a tiny bit or a huge bit she has made a positive difference. She made it thru so much and still came out so perfect.
Little thing to be thankful for this week I simply have one thing and its not so little.....LIFE....I am so thankful for not only my life but all of my loved ones but life in general. Its such an amazing miracle. So appreciate life and the life of all living things around you. <3
