After delivery.....amazing!

Now that she was here and breathing on her own Dr. Clark came in to assess her and confirmed the Trisomy 18. I still has hope hat maybe they were wrong. I didn't see anything wrong with her except her weight, but unfortunately Dr. Clark looked her over as I held her in my arms and he said that in his professional opinion she was T18. Even though that was a crushing blow I was still on cloud nine and didn't care. My prayers were answered. Everyone that wanted to meet her was able to and the ment more to me than anything in this world. Shortly after Dr. Clark left the nurs asked me if I wanted to give her a bath and I was extatic!! "YES I do!" The nurse brought over a tub filled with warm water and I had rought some bath soap from home because wether she was still born or alive my wish was to bathe my baby. They sat the tub up on the warming table and got her ready fro her bath, but I wasn't able to move my legs due to the epidural, so Joey and his sister began to wash her as I sat helpless beside her wanting to be the person who was going to bathe her. I watched as they gave her her bath almost feeling like I was robbed of the first. I knew she wouldn't have many first's and I wanted to be there and participate in all of them. I think that the nurse saw the sad look on my face so she offered to push my legs apart and sit the tub on the bed facing me so that I could be apart of this special moment. I couldn't have been happier. I gently washed her face, careful not to get any water in her eyes, and I washed that jet balck hair ever so carefully. I think that I cried the whole time, because I never thought that I would get all this much time with her.
After the photographer left,the nurse came in and said with a huge smile on her face and said"let's get this baby to your room and get you two comfy." As they were wheeling us to the room I could hear the nurses with excited voices saying " She's going to be admitted into her room!" I could hear Tammy saying "Take that white bow off the door! We have a live baby coming in here!" I was the happiest woman on earth. She was a miracle. Already beating the odds.
About an hour after we were in the room my nurse came in and asked had she been fed yet and I told her no. She sad that she would be right back. In just a few minutes she came in with a bottle and a premie nipple for her and gave me some advice on how to get her to eat. I took the bottle and rubbed her cheek and sure enough she was eating! She was eating on her own!! She was breathing on her own , eating, peeing, pooping the whole works! I never thought that I would ever be so excited to change a poopie diaper in my life, but I welcomed it!!
