This is the best mother's day, EVER!
P.S.
Shortly after we left the hospital, sierra had an extreme health emergency, Hyper Billurubin Jaundice and I had to rush her back to the hospital,because her levels were so high, she was critically close to needing a full body blood transfusion, and I endured my first crisis as a new mother. They immediately put her into an isolette under the lights and I could only touch her through a small hole in the incubator. She had to wear a mask, and kept ripping it off to look at me. My heart was broken, and I was a nervous wreck for the first 12 hours, but thankfully her numbers came down, which meant that she was responding well to the light treatment.
We stayed in the hospital for 36 hours.
I learned that mother's do not need food, sleep or a shower. when their baby's are sick.
It was like ET and Elliot. The moment she felt better, I started coming back to life.
and holding your baby for the first time after she has been out of your arms for 24 hours. is the closest thing to happiness and joy that this mortal world could ever possibly offer.
I love her more than I ever even imagined possible.
Love to everyone. My heart overflows today!
