Since Kaitlyn's arrival I've learned:
- That the amount of love you can feel for one person is amazing! I love my husband, but I've never felt such a deep, unconditional love like this before.
- Sleep is over-rated! I got a total of 7 hours of sleep in the 3 days we were in the hospital......I was to excited about our little girl! I've adjusted to lots less sleep, and haven't had too many sleep-deprived breakdowns!
- Not all newborns wake up every 2 hours.....Along with the last point, we've been blessed with a good sleeper! Not having to get up every 2-3 hours at night is wonderful! I expected to have to.
- Breastfeeding is hard and classes can't prepare you for what to expect! Kaitlyn was tongue-tied so even with a perfect latch and doing everything right, things still weren't working. Thank goodness for pediatric dentists!
In the past month, our lives have changed drastically! I can't imagine life without our precious little girl. Before, all I could think about was Taylor and how we were missing something. The realization of having Kaitlyn in our lives hit me the other day.....She wouldn't be here if we hadn't lost Taylor. It was a hard pill to swallow when it hit me, but I've finally been able to see that God did have a plan for us, and Kaitlyn was it.
