5-twentyseven: 10 days old

as i look back at photos of Grey i can't believe how much she has changed. when she was just 10 days old, she was wearing premie clothes, was smaller than i could have imagined, still had the marks on her tiny feet from getting her blood drawn to test for billirubin. it was so heartbreaking to see her get poked so many times.

i miss that newborn feeling with her but by that ending, a lot of new wonderful things seem to come along. when you have your first baby, i feel like you are always looking FORWARD to the next step. this time i am enjoying each step, not looking forward to the next until it is the present.

premie clothes were too big for our sweet baby

my sweet love. still yellow from her billirubin

the softest thing ever. those baby feet feel like silk. brings tears to my eyes looking at this photo because it shows how new she is.

those little marks are reminders that its hard being a parent. hard to do the right thing for your child even if it means it might hurt. thankfully theo is a little tougher than i am when it comes to the things that need to get done. i however cry like a baby when these moments happen.
