Guys, remember how I did a quick update sixteen days ago?
Well, a lot can happen in sixteen days. Why, you can...
Well, a lot can happen in sixteen days. Why, you can...
- get an emergency C-section
- have a baby girl
- find out that she inhaled a fair amount of meconium (newborn poop) and needs to stay in the hospital, even after you can leave
- go to the hospital every single day and stay there for the whole damn day in order to feed your daughter
- watch her thrive as she gets less and less extra oxygen every day
- cross your fingers like crazy when the doctor finally takes her off oxygen for a 48-hour observation period
- realize that you can take her home
- take her home
- take her to her first pediatrician appointment, where you find out that she's gained an enormous amount of milk because you apparently produce milk like a cow
- have amazing emotional highs and lows, plus, hormones! And recovery from your first surgery ever. The result of which was a HUMAN
- be super happy
So, folks, I haven't been online much. I haven't checked my e-mail. I haven't checked your blogs. But I've been waiting and waiting for the day where I could tell you about Chalkdust and Booties. She's alive and well, over two weeks old, and adorable. She already owns more clothes than I do, so I'm sure she'll be a fashion blogger in her own right.
What do you think?
