new mama-darla

hey...I'm up at the NICU (newborn ICU). I'm come up here about twice a day to visit Dayne. I get to nurse her today!!! YEah!!! It's the first time. For some of you, you might be wondering why I'm so excited seeing that nursing can be a pretty painful experience. Well, when your baby's been hooked up to IV's and the sort since day one...and you haven't really been able to hold or bond with her, this is a pretty exciting experience. She's doing a lot better and last night Geof. and were finally able to see what she looked like after they took the big tube/hat thing off her head that was pumping oxygen into her nose. She's gorgeous! The swelling has gone down quite a bit and she's really so pretty. Anyway, LeAnne's amazing. SHe's been here since monday cleaning and organizing my house while i wander around aimlessly wondering what I'm doing home without my baby!! I'm sure it's driven her nuts trying to motivate me to care about my home...but my heart just isn't there right now!! SO...i've totally missed out on the bloggs lately but i'll catch up. Hope all is well with you guys. love me
