Journal Entry for November 3, 2009 Mood
Tuesday, November 3, 2009 | A General Update story

My last entry was over a month ago now but the feeling of pure love that I have for my daughter has just intensified ~ I didn't think that was possible but it really is. One of my friends wrote that her cup runneth over.....that truly does say it all! My cup runneth over & over & over & over!

 

It is hard to be back at work. My heart is no longer in nursing the way it should be. I struggle on the days that I have to leave Danicka & go to the hospital to take care of others ~ all I want to do is take care of her. She really is what I live for now. I took her in to meet the RE staff yesterday. They all said they could see how happy I am now, how she has brought a smile back to my face & my heart.....she really has.....my heart is overjoyed by being her mommy. The last three years of IF & m/c were such a struggle but the pain is a distant memory when I look into Dani's eyes & see her smile. For Halloween she was a bag of money (very cute & very appropriate I think) but as much as I jest about her costing a lot of money she is worth every last penny & so much more!!!!

 

She is 11 weeks today. I can't believe how big she has gotten in such a short amount of time. I took her into the pediatrician for her 2 mth check-up & she was already 9.5lbs & 23in long. She is in the 15th percentile for weight & 75th for height. She is long & skinny....so pretty I might add. She is smiling & laughing all of the time, she wakes happy & goes to sleep at night happy. I am so lucky with this kid's easy disposition. Even as I write this entry she is lying next to me on the couch just looking at me with her big inquisitive eyes.

 

My BIL & SIL had a baby boy on the 13th.....he is exactly 8wks (almost to the minute) younger then Danicka & is the same size. He is a moose ~ I am so thankful my little girl is & was exactly that ~ little!!!! I complain about having to go to work 3 days a week but I really shouldn't since my BIL only got 12 days with his son before being shipped out (he is a Marine). I am grateful for every minute I have with her ~ I will say it again ~ my cup runneth over!!!!!!!!

    Yes, "my cup runneth over" was all I could think of when I first looked at my son. Its as if my heart grew 10 sizes! Lucas is only 2 weeks old but it feels as if he has always been with us. I'm so happy for you and little Dani! You deserve all the happiness you are receiving now!! Enjoy!

    What a great entry! I look forward to the day my DH and I can meet our twins and feel the love you are describing although it's hard to imagine...at just 8 weeks and 2 days my heart already feels so full with love for them and otehr than via ultrasound, we haven't even met them yet. Motherhood seems to suit you my friend...congrats!
