The Present

Alaina came home from the hospital at two months old, almost three months ago. I am not going to say that all was perfect when she came home, it wasn't, but I didn't care. I had my baby home and I was not going to let go. She threw up some, maybe once a day for about two weeks, but it was so much better than every feeding ending up all over the floor, or my shirt. We spread blankets and sheets all over the floor, her swing...I only fed her in the kitchen. But, after a few weeks she stopped throwing up completely and never threw up again. Shortly thereafter she started sleeping through the night. How lucky am I?
I really can not believe to this day, that things turned out this way, so perfectly. I feel so blessed. I know that difficult beginnings do not always lead to happy endings, but I have faith and I truly believe that the worst is behind me and the future is bright for my baby.
