So, Amelia is doing wonderfully today! She's got color in her skin. She is breathing much better than yesterday. And she recognizes me. It was amazing seeing her earlier today. We did the skin to skin for an hour and half, and she fell to sleep instantly. Her breathing was so steady, too. Apparently it hadn't been until I held her. It was the greatest hour and half, ever. Sadly, they plan to keep her until, at least, Tuesday. Thankfully, once I'm discharged, I can stay over there with her. The issue is, I need to be discharged but not sure when that'll happen. Apparently, during delivery, I tore so badly that I lost too much blood. More than I thought. When they took my blood this morning, it came back as a low blood count. I'm incredibly pale, paler than my sister. I'm dizzy, tired, can barely walk or stand. My poor mom has to help me get to the bathroom. They're thinking I may need a blood transfusion, but we don't know yet. Should find out tomorrow. If I don't need one, I should be discharged and then be able to stay with Amelia. I guess we'll see. But I have a feeling, with how today has gone, I won't be discharged tomorrow. Knock on wood though! I know staying with Mia(Amelia's nickname) in NICU will be really good for her and will help her get better. So, if I could get better, we'll be home sooner!! I'm going to go see Mia now. Will update again tomorrow!
