Happy Early Mothers Day To Me!

Right after that post yesterday I headed up to the hospital.

This is how we started out...

Which turned into this....

Then this....

And finally ended with this!........

Yep, I think I feel better. We have officially been approved for "once a day hold sessions". Roger's turn today! :)

Allison said...: Wow. We just checked in today and I read the emotions you posted earlier. I hear ya sister!! It seems so unfair to get up to pump in the middle of the night and have to call a wonderful nurse just to find out how your baby is. What an awesome day for you to finally get to hold your sweetie! I hope that they let you both hold her for a good long time tomorrow for your first Mother's Day!!!; 08 May, 2010
