MY Minamino is a month today! can't grasp how like yesterday I gave birth and today my Mycah-mae is vocal, pretty and perfect :)
Yesterday I was 7 months pregnant and then 8 then 9 and I simply couldnt wait to meet her.
can this baby come already?!
I CLEARLY didnt realise what I was saying... sleep is sooo overrated *dripping with sarcasm*
and then I went into labour and each contraction drilled into my head that my daughter was on her way and surprise surprise I suddenly felt so unprepared...
Can I do this? will I be a good mom? will she know me and love me in return? what if she is colicky? what if there's something wrong...
By Monday afternoon I was so exhausted to STILL be in labour (from Saturday evening) and only 8cm dilated that I just didn't care... please give my baby to me now please please please I beg you!
and then there she was!
beautiful. healthy. strong.
and my heart melted :)
Yesterday I was trying to get her to 'latch' onto me properly
Today she can't get enough... think GULP GULP GULP
Yesterday I felt overwhelmed and so darn inadequate
Today I'm not too shabby hey Nige?
Yesterday she could hardly open her dark eyes to the harsh lights
Today she stares at everything in open-eyed wonder including me :)
Yesterday she couldn't smile
Today she does
My Minamino is a month today and she is vocal, pretty and perfect
