Today we were allowed to hold Ava for the very first time. Ava has been off the C-PAP successfully and breathing completely on her own for about 24 hours now. She has had very few episodes of bradycardia and is a little bit better at keeping her body heat so the doctor finally allowed us to hold her in our arms for the very first time. I have waited my entire pregnancy and the first four days of Ava's life for this very precious moment and I can't even describe how happy I am that it has finally arrived!
Dear Ava,
The first time I saw you... my eyes welled up with tears of joy and happiness. As you wrapped your tiny fingers around mine, my heart was consumed by my unconditional love for you.
The first time you looked at me... I felt a thousand butterflies flutter through my heart and I knew then that you recongnized the sound of my voice.
The first time I held you... I truly felt what it was like to hold love and I really felt what it was like to be your mother. I never wanted that moment to end.
Love,
Mommy
So happy to hold you
The weight of the world in Daddy's arms.
Your tiny head in the palm of his hand
Ten tiny toes!!
