A Mother's Love is Forever!

She has her eyes open!

Baby Eden Madison has finally arrived! I had her on June 19th (Father's Day) at 12:33PM.She is the most precious gift I ever received. Baby Eden weighs 6 lbs 14 oz and is 19 in. in length. She is one healthy baby. I was just discharged from the SM hospital a 4 days ago and now I'm just spending all my time with her in Northridge. I'm trying to make out the different faces she makes; so far I definitely know her hungry and poopie face. Her personality is starting to come out and she is just too sweet. Baby Eden finally opened her eyes fully a few days ago and she'll only open it up to her Daddy. She's going to be one big Daddy's girl! Baby Eden gained weight after losing some initially at the hospital. She was down 5.6% at discharge and after 6 days she gained some weight and is now only 3.4% down from her birth weight. I was told babies drop 
10% of their weight after birth which is considered normal.

Baby Eden only a few hours old

I had an all natural vaginal birth and couldn't ask for a better delivery. The hospital stay was great and the nurses were so helpful in caring for me and my baby as They gave us a lot of pointers as far as symptoms to look out for, how to give the baby a sponge bath, how to swaddle a baby, etc. I definitely love the education portion from nurses, lactation specialist, and doctors. From what I was told, the doctor referred to me as “the one push wonder patient” because that was what it took to get the baby out. I personally felt that there was a lot more pushing going on from my end than just “one single push” but it was worth it in the end.

Words cannot express how truly happy I feel to finally meet my beautiful daughter. She is just something amazing. The labor and delivery was totally worth all the pain/suffering to finally see my baby girl! Life as a mother has totally changed my perspective on everything. It’s the best feeling in the world to watch my little one grow and develops into a separate self. It’s INDESCRIBABLE!
