11 Days!

Dear Baby,

Where does the time go? Its already been 11 days! That is just crazy! Things are going really well though. You are now sleeping in your cradle and eating every 3-4 hours, instead of every 1 or 2 hours. Dad has been working and he doesn't get home until late, so you and me have been spending lots of time together, just the two of us. Grandma Mary has been coming over and spending time with you also while mom showers and gets stuff done around the house.

Unfortunately, you caught dad's cold. Mom caught it too. You have such a stuffy nose. It is so sad to see and hear. It wakes you up at nights and I can tell you have a hard time breathing. I hope you get better soon. The doctor said there isn't any medicine I can give you for a stuffy nose that is ok for babies to take, so you are suffering through it. I hope you can fight it and feel better soon. On a better note, I think your gas is much better and your acid reflux isn't as bad. I haven't been giving you your medicine and you are still being such a good baby!

It is weird to think that if you didn't come on your own 11 days ago, I would have been induced last night and you would be born today. I can't even imagine have living the last 11 days without you! I'm very happy that you came when you did and that I know you came on your own and wasn't forced to come. And, I'm certainly happy that we are home today and not in the hospital! Plus we've had spring snow storms all week and I'd much rather be bundled up in our house with you, staying warm and spending time together then having to be giving birth.

You are waking up now...

Love you,

Mom
