Ivy Charone {sher-on} Elder
born July 31st, 2012
coming into the world at a gigantic 9 lbs 14 ounces.
after 22 hours of labor, and a c-section,
she was finally in our arms...but only for literally a few minutes.
she had to be rushed down to the NICU and has been there ever since.
we're praying she's out by next week, but until then, we literally look forward to every. single. second we get to spend with her.
she's in there because hypoglycemia is pretty common with newborns who have type 1 diabetic mammas.
her poor little body is so used to having to produce more insulin because of my sugars.
so until they're regulated, we don't get to hold her.
literally the hardest thing we've ever had to do was say goodbye to her.
it's funny because our home seems so empty now.
and it was so depressing seeing her empty carseat in the back on the way home.
oh my gosh do we love her. now i know what all you motha's out there are talking about when they talk about love. it's indescribable really.
but here's to hoping we get her all to ourselves next week!!
