5 weeks old

It is so hard to believe that my sweet Eden is already 5 weeks old! These weeks have flown by! I love being a mom and everything that comes with it. The first week of Eden's life was a blur. She was in the NICU for the first seven days of life, and I was suffering from what I now think was a mild Spinal Headache. The headache was relieved when lying down, but when I stood or sat up, the pain was excruciating.  It was hard to hold Eden and I was so frustrated! For several days, my head was in so much pain that I couldn't even focus on my sweet daughter who was fighting one minor problem after another in the NICU. It started out with some breathing difficulties/fluid in the lungs, which is common for C-section babies, followed by Eden not wanting to eat and some blood sugar issues, as well as not being able to regulate her own body temperature. While in the NICU, she also had some issues with Jaudice, as well as a heart murmur and some popping in her hips that sent us to a specialist. Now, at 5 weeks old, all of the issues have resolved themselves, and our little girl is doing great. We are getting into a routine, enjoying our time at home together, and getting to know each other.
