Today we rested. You and I were both exhausted. Aunt Celia came in and changed your clothes like four times yesterday for pictures and we had visitors most of the day. We were both exhausted! You were so cute today. You like to lay on my chest. You like for your face to touch my skin on my neck. That is were you want to be when I hold you. I love the smell of your head and the feel of the fuzz on your head on my neck. You fit so perfectly in that spot. I would like to freeze the moment in my heart and have it there forever as one of the best moments of my life. Your Dad is so taken with you. He is like a pro changing your diaper and all! He knows just how to handle you. I guess he was paying attention in the child care class we attended. I love the fact that he gets to help and we get to share you. I love having a family of my own. You are such a special little one! We are having a time getting you to burp. So we called the nurse...your "tough ole nurse" came in and she said..."You two act like you gona break her, she isn't gona break" with that she threw you up on her shoulder (as I gasped) and wacked you on the back (as your Dad gasped) and you did this big ole burp like no one has ever heard a baby do. I think you are trying to make us look bad. When we get home, I am going to work toward perfecting this burp thing with you. You just wait...I am going to be able to burp any baby given to me before this is over (without the shoulder throwing and back wacking thing.) There has to be a kinder and gentler way to do it!
I have heard of mothers getting the "Mommy Shakes" right after they have a baby. I even saw Cousin Laurie having them but it was right after the baby was born. I had a weird spell this evening. It scard your dad and I really bad. I was lying in the bed after you went to the nursery and I got the shakes of sorts. I was freezing cold, my teeth were chattering and I couldn't control it. My fever dropped very low. The nurses came in and wrapped me in warm blankets and give me some medication. Finally, I was able to settled down. The doctors have decided we are going to be staying in the hospital for an extra day for them to observe. It looks like we will not be going home until Friday.
