10 days...

Here's a list of 10 things on my first 10 days in my experience of being a new mom:

1. One day I did realize at 3:30 in the afternoon that Ryan nor I had eaten anything all day. We remedied that with a stop at Johnnies for burgers after our doctor's visits.

2. I dreamed several nights about bili-rubin counts.

3. Sleep & Showers are now luxuries.

4. Watching my child bleed hurts my heart.

5. So far nothing feels like much of a chore, I know it will probably but right now I actually like changing her, bathing her, dressing her, kissing her, rocking her...

6. You can loose hours of the day just sitting and watching her.

7. It is already going to fast but I'm trying to focus on living in the moment.

8. Watching Ryan hold her and love on her warms my heart.

9. She has a sweet spirit, I think so far she's a very easy baby, I feel like I already know her to be able to know a bit about what her cries might be about and she is easily soothed and content for the most part.

10. I already know next to Ryan, she's the best thing that ever happened to me and I've said many prayers of thanks over these past 10 days for the blessing she is in our life and that I get to be her mom.
