Everybody is recuperating from the rough labor and birth. Liz sent me some photos Monday and yesterday. LOL, they are all of the baby sleeping. Maeve has this little rosebud mouth, she's adorable, has a head of dark hair. Liz said that she'll try to get pics when she's awake. Right now here eyes are dark blue, Liz said. I think that they will stay blue because Liz and Mike both have blue eyes.
Liz said that Mike is so sweet and patient with his daughter. I know that she'll have him wrapped around her little finger. Naturally the parents are both sleep-deprived. I told him that the every 2 hour feedings ease up after about a month and he said that they were trying to stretch it to 3 hours. I remember those days. When the baby sleeps, no matter what you're doing, you drop it and collapse into a nap.
Maeve's doctor appointment went well. She's putting on weight and her bloodwork was better. So far that's it. I haven't heard from Liz or Mike today.
Her family has visited with the baby already and my ex is going to meet his granddaughter for the first time on Friday morning.
All I know is that Maeve is one dearly wanted baby. Liz and Mike went through a lot to become pregnant; they hung in there and stayed strong through it all.
Maeve is Celtic/Gaelic. She's named after an Irish warrior queen. Befitting.
