Thanks, everyone!

I'm really enjoying her. Today is only my second day with her, despite her being born on the 29th. (I posted her birthday wrong last night - I have no brain at this point.)

I don't know if I should post my birth story when I write it, because it is really negative due to weird circumstances and incompetent midwives. I'll never know for sure what actually happened because the midwives swear one thing and the doctors say it is impossible. (Hospital transfer.)

Livi was in ICU because she didn't transition well to the outside world and was panting really fast. She had fluid in her lungs that they thought might be pnemonia, so they pumped her full of antibiotics unnecessarily. She corrected the problem on her own around 1 am Saturday, but I didn't get to have her or nurse her until Sunday.

I have a lot of stuff to work through, and some mourning to do. But the beautiful thing is that I have this amazing baby who is perfectly healthy, and I cherish that!

Hey Monica:

Sometimes it takes a long long time to process your birth story when it isn't everything you had hoped for...don't feel bad that it will take you time!! Enjoy loving and being with your sweet baby
