Holy cow, I cannot believe how much has happened since I wrote last. Where have the past 2 months gone?!
Our beautiful baby girl is finally here! She was born January 27th at 12:41 pm, and weighed only 6lbs 5oz. Giving birth to here was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced, it still seems unreal~ she was born kicking and screaming, and oh so beautiful!!
Turns out she did need surgery right away, which terrified us. She went in to open heart surgery at only 7 days old, you can imagine how much of a basket case I was! Her journey has been long and full of complications, but she has come SO far!! We couldn't be more proud of her. I am so thankful the hardest things are behind us and now we're just moving forward.
Oleg is amazing, and I am so lucky to have him. He works long hours and drives 40 miles here and back every day just to see us. He does everything to make me happy, and I couldn't be more lucky~
We can't decide if I'm going back to work or not yet. Oleg really doesn't want me to, but I miss it! Plus a little supplemental income can't hurt (;
The doctors are saying we'll most likely be heading home the middle of next week, HALLELUJAH!!! I'm thankful for the wonderful hospital staff, but I am more than ready to go home. We'll be back here a lot for appointments, and her next surgery is just a couple months away, but at least we get to be home in between. Talking to other moms here makes me realize how blessed we really are~
I think that's all I have to share today (: life is a truly beautiful thing, and God is so good to us<3
Today, I pray for healing, strength, encouragement, and serenity~
