The Reality of Being a Mom

After bringing Joe Jr home, I realized that everything that matter before in life truly didn't matter as much as he did. He is everything to me. When we brought him home they told us that he had jaundice and not to be too concerned because almost all babies have it. So, we didn't worry. The next day we had to take him to the doctor. They poked my poor baby in heel and informed us that his jaundice level was going up. We had to get a billibed to put him in and come back the next day. We went back and his level went up again. It got so high that we were told if it didn't go down he was going to be put back in the hospital. Being a first time mom, this was the WORST news I could EVER hear. I cried all day long and had him on the billibed probably 20 out of the 24 hours that day. We went back to the doctor and THANK GOD, his levels had dropped dramtically. It was the best news to hear. Joe Jr was perfect and SPOILED! The days and nights were hard because my husband and I were use to it being just the two of us and the dogs. Now we were adjusting to having baby. After a week Joe went back to work (he works nights) it was just me and Joe Jr. This was one scared Mommy, but I survived. The weeks flew by and Joe Jr was growing and I was falling more and more inlove wit him!
