A few days ago our daughter was born. We traveled hours upon hours and were here when she was born. We have a pride baby! How awesome!
There is nothing like seeing your baby right after birth. To hear that first cry and realize you had been holding your breath until that happened. The moment you get the hospital bracelet wrapped around your wrist. Nothing makes you smile like nurses who scold you for not having your camera ready fast enough and proceed to tell you they will give you tips to get the best pictures. Nothing compared to that day, watching my daughter being taken care of.
With that also comes the insane amount of worry that comes from having a preemie. Two steps forward, one step back is the rhythm of the whole unit. She is doing great, but man are we worried overall. Seeing her in an isolette is so horrible and makes us feel like we are helpless. Watching her under the bili lights makes us realize we ARE helpless. We hate that helpless feeling, but she is being taken care of by some of the best and her nurses have been nothing but amazing. We are so thankful for their guidance and help throughout this that I'm not sure we'll ever be able to express how thankful we truly are.
So yeah, right now our lives are attempting to figure out the NICU routine and trying to get our shit together and stop pinching ourselves that we have a baby. Living out of a hotel room for an undetermined amount of time is hard, but we'll figure it out.
Hopefully I get some posts written and set to post while we are getting used to baby girl, but if not, just know I've not gone away forever! I am eagerly awaiting the Supreme Courts decision that should be coming down in the next week, and we are debating if we are going to swing out to the local Pride festival here.
Life is moving forward insanely quickly, but right now we are the happiest father's that we know.
Until Next Time.
