Looking through the pictures from my first month as a mum i realise they are very few i love. Most of them Rebecca is hooked up to so many wires and tubes that my heart just aches . She is so swollen and puffy (from all the fluids) and looks nothing like the girl we know and love.
These few i think are all taken from the earlier days before the surgery but they could be from after (how i wished i blogged then and could keep those memories straight)
We did not get enough cuddles those few weeks and the ones we got were amazing, she was so small and cuddly and we could just have held her forever .
Can you see her shaved head? At one point they were struggling to fit an IV and put it in her head , they needed to shave a small part of her beautiful hair to do this . I was paranoid that the same was going to happen this time around and kept asking the nurses to make sure if did not happen (of course if it was the only way , but shaving a little hair from a newborn is completely different than a 3 year old).
I always found it strange that her hair grew the same on either side (so both sides the same length) – you would of thought one side would be slightly longer than the other.
She is so cute…i know that must have been so hard for you guys to see her like that when she was so so small. She is so adroable and mama looks so happy!
Poor little sweet girl. That had to have been so rough for all of you. Glad she is doing better now!
Such hard memories. But you know, now that you’re on this side and know that everything turned out just fine, it’s really an amazing thing to look back on! She’s so tiny and sweet.
Very cute little baby she was – and now she’s a gorgeous big girl!
I can only imagine how hard that must’ve been for you hun, ((hugs)).
Aww poor sweet babe! I can only imagine how hard a time that was for you and your family. Great to have those pictures though, she will want to look at them and be amazed at all those tubes and how tiny she was. What a cutey!
