life of charmings

love, family, happiness

July 13, 2015 in m's firsts· mommyhood· our little fam· rocco

just one week ago… [and about 14 hours!]

…after a long day of contractions
and a long night of an epidural notttt quite happening fast enough…
[but thank HEAVENS when it does!]
our newest little family member took his first precious breath of oxygen,
there in the wee hours, and then snuggled right up in my arms.
looking back on those first hospital days, oh, i’m feeling all the hormones about it!
overwhelming and hard and sweet and safe, those newborn stays…
you’re tired, emotional, sore, and so taken care of day and night.
[then you get out and it’s all the late night newborn googling a tired girl can muster, of course!]
and i missed my maddalena girl so so so much
i couldn’t stand it… and would burst into tears after her visits.
she was amazing, though, and brought rocco an olaf for his cradle,
kissed him a million times, and officially accepted her role as best big sis ever.
and after those few days, we were so ready to get home with our sweet rocco boy
and his wonderful big sister… forever my first baby! <3
so, life just took things up a notch, for sure,
and we. are. in. love!

    All such lovely memories to have! I feel like their days are a blur of nurses and visitors and just really really wanting to get home to your other baby and then it's over and it's like… How? Pictures fill in the gaps for my tired mind. Now I want to go relive Dominic's. Sniff.
