The Morning After

As cliche as it sounds, it was like waking up from a dream the morning after "Labor" Day.  Emma had spent the night in the nursery so we only saw her during the brief feedings during the night.  Due to exhaustion from labor and all the lovely drugs I was ingesting, I slept very sound - awaking very refreshed.  The pregnancy made me tired and sluggish - all nine months.  This day was the first day to feel like myself again.

So many friends and family came out to meet our little girl.  There was just so much love coming from all over: the visits in the hospital, comments on facebook, sweet messages.  We feel so fortunate, blessed and thankful.
