Yesterday was Amy’s 38th birthday. It was a bit of a challenge planning a birthday with a baby that is less than 3 weeks old. We started the day with a birthday night feeding (just what Amy wanted for her birthday :) ). After the feeding, she was presented with a sweet birthday card from Gia (with a little help from daddy). The day progressed as many have recently – a blur of feedings, diaper changes, and a little sleep here and there. The only difference is that Gia has decided that she needs to eat more often, so instead of feeding every 2-3 hours it was more like 1-2 hours! Again, just what Amy wanted for her birthday - more quality time with her daughter :).
As a surprise, Drew arranged for a masseuse to come to our home to give both of us 90-minute massages. Wow, did we need it and wow, was it good! We might have to do that again soon. Fortunately, Gia was able to wait 90 minutes between feedings so Amy could get her massage.
Drew picked up some delicious food earlier in the day for us to have for dinner. We pictured a sweet candlelight dinner while Gia slept quietly in her bassinet . . . instead it was Amy sitting in the rocker nursing Gia, while Drew fed Amy. Still sweet but very different. We did get to sit and watch an episode of one of our favorite shows - Grey's Anatomy. Of course, it took us 90 minutes to watch a 40-minute episode, thanks to feedings, diaper changes, etc. but it was still fun.
Despite the chaos, Amy felt it was her best birthday ever. After all, when else has she had so much love in her life!
