The waiting game...

We're waiting for Isabelle to poop! We can't feed her until she starts pooping and the amount liquid being pumped out of her tummy lessens and turns clear. The doctors keeping telling us she's looking great and she's improving every day, but this little peanut is starving and everyone knows it. :( Now here's a question to all you moms out there... can you imagine trying to calm down a newborn that you can't hold or feed? It's torture. Enough of the negativity, though! Besides her being hungry, she is STILL doing awesome and improving! She's always very alert, and she draws you in with her huge, bright eyes. She lies there and stares around the room, with her hands up by her face and her legs all stretched out... if you can walk past her without acknowledging her, you're heartless. Today, Izzy is a week old! I can finally see what my parents mean when they say how fast time flies... I could swear it was just yesterday! It's so heartbreaking to think about the fact that you can never go back to that perfect moment in time, but it's reassuring to think about the years and endless memories to come. Tomorrow's Christmas Eve and we've got Isabelle's stocking hung up in her room. Kodie and I are gonna stay the night here with her, and play Santa for the first time. :') I'm planning on getting some Christmas movies and grabbing some hot cocoa from the parent lounge for our first little Christmas together. I know it sounds cheesy and I'm sort of a hopeless romantic so I guess we'll see how it goes. Haha. :) Sorry it took me so long to update, by the way. I've been pretty busy, and when I'm not busy, I lack the motivation to do anything (I take procrastination to the next level). A couple is leaving with their baby today, and I have to say I'm pretty jealous... Oh well though, at the rate time is flying by for me, we'll be out of here in no time!
