First Night

What a long day! It is still a bit of a blur, but the beautiful little girl is definitely no dream. Once Yvonne left the O.R. she needed to be monitored for an hour before we could spend any time with Vivian. I had my chance to meet Vivian when she came out, but Yvonne only got a quick glimpse of her.

Yvonne had a few extra bleeders, so it took a bit longer to get out of the O.R. (if you consider 45 minutes for major abdominal surgery a long time...)

Once Yvonne had recovered enough (about an hour), we got to spend some quality time with little Vivian.Yvonne's maternal instincts have totally kicked in. She is currently laying in bed sweet talking to baby Vivian into being quiet for the evening, telling her about all the visitors we will be having over the holidays and how much she lover her. I've never been in love more with Yvonne then I am today. I can't imagine living my life without her or Vivian.
