Thanks so much to Nicki & Mandi for keeping the blog updated yesterday (I really can’t get over that baby picture comparison…wow!!) I know there were a lot of people anxiously awaiting the details so thanks to everyone for all the sweet comments and texts!
Yesterday morning was very nerve-wracking as we waited for the surgery to happen and then waited for it to get over with so we could meet our baby girl! Of course once she entered the world, nothing else seemed to matter. She made a few noises when she came out, then let out one good cry, then went back to sleep on the table as they cleaned her and weighed her.
Then Daddy got to hold her and I just watched as they had their first little bonding moment together. I was in surgery from 7:30-9:30 then finally it was off to recovery. Once settled there, they brought Maisy to me so we could attempt our first breastfeeding. But not before getting kisses from Yaya & Nana!
Breastfeeding went so well and continued throughout the day & night lastnight, I’m really thankful that she has taken to it so well and I’m loving all the bonding time it gives us together.
Obviously I’m head over heels in love with this little girl, my sweet Maisy! I don’t think I’m the only one either:
She got lots of visitors yesterday:
Including a very special visit from a very excited “Big Brother In Charge!”
(he’s showing off his muscles because he’s going to protect her he says!)
As soon as he came in the room and saw me holding the baby he started yelling “Maisy comed out! Maisy comed out Momma!” Then he said “so where is dose presents Maisy got for Ryder?” LOL so it was on to his special big brother present which he was very excited about and he made an appoint to tell Maisy thank you. It was nice to have both of our kids together in the same room, and we even got to have our first story time!
And then Ryder got to hold his baby sister for the very first time with help from Nana.
Excuse me for a second while my heart melts! Once Nana was holding her, he walked over and gave her a few kisses:
And then proceeded to say “okay Nana, give that back to Mama now!”
So that was Maisy’s first day…I hope she feels surrounded by love because she definitely is!
Such a sweet, sweet girl!
