I have to spend the night at the hospital with the baby. Because difficult child had a slight temp when Connor was born, they had to test for infection and he cannot be released until tomorrow..
But difficult child had to go back to the jail today. The nurses did their best to take their time discharging her, staking as much as possible. Heartbreaking. She did not let Connor leave her side in the bed the whole time she was here. She was being such a good mother. I heard her talking to him today about regrets and how thankful she was that he was healthy. Everyone commented how they saw the pure love she has for this boy. She called me as soon as she got back to the jail just to ask how he was, hear him over the phone and tell him how much she loved and missed him already. I have cried with her all day. It is so unbelievably heartbreaking!!!! Even the nurses were crying for her...
Dear God, I pray she is reunited with him as fast as possible...
Meanwhile, I am here lying next to him, looking at him in awe. He is actually here and I am positively bursting with love!!! He is just so absolutely perfect. So beautiful...
(I do see the presumed father in him - his eyes and eyebrows - first thing I noticed after he was born. His eyes & difficult child's nose..)
