Someone I know had a baby yesterday afternoon and that is the inspiration for today's (albeit completely unplanned) blog. This new mama posted a picture of her newest addition this morning on Facebook at about 8 am and a bunch of memories rushed back to me from my hospital stay.
Lane was over 24 hours old when I was able to wake up from my 1st night sleep as a mom (which I must say was probably the best sleep I had in almost a week). We decided that Mark would stay home to sleep, for both our sanity and the sanity of our dogs, and the previous day was full of visitors from the moment Lane was returned to our room at 7 am until I went to bed at 10 pm.
I will NEVER forget that first morning that it was just Lane and I together before Mark arrived. It was also the first time that we were able to spend a single moment alone that didn't include him being attached to my boob. To be able and stare at the most beautiful thing in the world was priceless. Actually just thinking about it is bringing tears to my eyes! Before that moment, I would've never thought something so simple could be so meaningful.
It's a moment I'll cherish forever and seeing these new babies lets me relive it all over again!
